Trying to work out a tow in wyoming.

I was driving back from oregon. Went through yellowstone.

And it did not make it to the top of hwy 16 between 10 sleeps and buffalo, wy.

Downshifting at 45-50mph. Trying to hold speed. (Usually 30-40mph).

I have a 2018 fall rebuilt tranny. 455. With ebl efi. Engine seems ok.

Tranny is hooked up to radiator, then to an external tranny cooler. Running mobil 1.

I am towing 3500 pound crv. And have 3.21 gearing.

When heading over passes westbound. Things seemed well. The engine/tranny seemed to pull the grades fine and hold 40-45mph at 2800-2900 rpm. Maybe 2/3 to 3/4 throttle.

Heading back east it seemed to struggle more and more. (Hills seemed longer.). The one the coach quit moving on was really long. 10 miles??

Think i am pushing it or had some issue with rebuild? I dont know how to take it much easier. Not like I want to pull over facing uphill and try yo het going again? And those spots are few and far between???

Just wondering experience and thoughts.

Jon Roche 75 palm beach EBL EFI, manny headers, Micro Level, rebuilt most of coach now. St. Cloud, MN http://lqqkatjon.blogspot.com/
