Begin 10% grade N/B MP J 242.2 West Fork of the North Fork of the Chandalar River Bridge begin 12% grade toward Atigun Pass. MP J 244.7 Top of Atigun Pass. No percent of N/B grade listed. Handle every stressful situation like a dog; if you can't eat it or play with it, just pee on it and walk away.

Well, guessing he is maxed out legal American weight then should have been in 5th gear, and I stood corrected on what should have happened. taking the truck out of gear while coasting downhill is one of the things you shouldn't do because it can help you gain speed very quickly and dangerously. Hubby said what he would have done was pulled over on the shoulder and put it in the proper gear. I belong to Http://FriendsWithoutBorders.Yuku.Com

We had a long discussion about it in the garage thread one time. I can't think of a reason it could fail unless the electricals had a short or something and they could not be activated.

He's the one that enlightened me on Jkaes way back when I first started driving. Unfortunately, at the moment he's being his ornery self and hasn't spoken to me in a year. My guess would be electrical, but here's a thred on another board that might answer the question. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?showtopic=10115 "Crazy 'white guy' eh?
