Dan,
You should try Manny's "hill" with a heavy "403" Royale!! We
went to Manny's home Spring '08 enroute to the GMCMI Santa
Rosa Convention to pre-emptively rebuild the Royale's TH425.
He met us at a pre-arranged place in San Jose in his heavy
duty GM Savannah van. He said to follow him up the "hill" to
his home in low gear but that the Royale/"403" would start
to lose traction a short distance from his driveway. He
further advised that when the front tires smoke, shut down
and wait for him to hook up the van. The van provided just
enough assist to keep the front tires from smoking. As we
turned into the wide, flat driveway off that "hill" to
his/Deo's beautiful home, it felt like we were falling off a
cliff (because of the grade of that "hill"!!).

How did it pull going back west? That is a tuff climb.
Why not try one of the limited slips to see if you can get
up your driveway Manny? I never thought your driveway was
that tough.
