    Run out 8 and run to Dallas, then go 30 to 40, go 65 out of Louisville, it's the least hilly route I can think of.

    Here's a question? U went thru I 40 Arkansas to get to cali right? If you are able to go the speed limit your truck is probably fine....it's the hills

    Yep just the hills...thats why they won't fix truck till I get back cuz they said you just lost some pulling power. No emergency. Truck wide open...well at least to 75

    Yeah, avoiding hills in this country is about like avoiding ants at a picnic. I would go back the way you came and tell the company you need an extra day to pull the hills.
