Alright guys just got home from on top of the mountain. The truck drove like a dream, did have to down shift to third for the steep stuff but the engine had plenty of power.

Thanks guys. The truck actually handled pretty well for a truck. Got a few thumbs ups and all in all I am very happy with this driver.
