A gear spilter such as a Gear Vendors O/D will make pulling hills easier on the engine as you can keep it in the lower end powerband and still maintain your speed. Swapping in a two speed rear end would help in this if you can locate one.
Drop in on the diesel side of the board and take a look around. Dieselwrencher's build thread is full of information.

LOL, maybe I should just ask Dieselwrencher to install one for me. He's just down the road.
