Tried "S" to start with yesterday and it was better but on the only semi level 100 feet or so i downshifted it to "L" before the last and worst part.....much better overall and a bit more control.

Wife says that if we are going out West next year and have to face the mountains, she wants disk brakes on the rear.....lol.
Rich,
Research this carefully. There are problems there that few suspect.
Talk to Dave Lenzi about it.
Matt
Thanks for the heads up Matt, i think everything will have pros/cons no matter how you look at it. The brakes work pretty good stock but when 20000lbs starts pushing on a 14% grade with corners, other "things" start to pucker, if you know what i mean....lol.
