m8 that was really good to see how you do that down hill run thks

I’ve been that mountain a many times you must be extremely careful always be in a low gear

Welcome to Denver! This is my stomping grounds. I've been all over the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I just discovered your videos today, and I'm thoroughly enjoying them and all of the info you give. Keep the shiny side up!

Usual rule of thumb. What you climb the hill in. Is the gear you come down monitoring conditions of course. Is that same to say.

the dump truck was smokin hot

This is a great video! I haven't done much mountain driving, so maybe a dumb question....but what gear do u have it in when u start down that grade? I did do quite often the "approach" into Albuquerque on i40 west bound. I loved it. When in the right gear it was like drifting on in smooth and easy! Is the one into Denver alot steaper?

It depends on the transmission, axle ratio, and how much weight you got pushing you. And yes, it's pretty damn steep.

pretty much 1 gear lower then you climbed it...just a general rule of thumb

I think some of the 4 wheelers feel they are in charge of controlling the big trucks speed which is not to smart. Good way to get killed

You sound just like the late great Wolfman Jack! Howlllllllll

Probably 15. That isn't for every scenario and definitely isn't for every truck or load. Know your truck and your trailer in these conditions.

@Jason Merchant the Denver down hill gear depends on your load weight, trailer type, tranny gears, differential ratio, tractor weight, jake brakes and driver experience.

If your road speed is too high, the truck may not shift into a lower gear, even with a double clutch.

I hate that hill. Not cause of the hill, but cause of the idiots that fly past me going way too damn fast. *glares at mega-carriers* I don't think I have ever gone down that hill without smelling some dumb asses brakes.

Dude your video would have been more better if you put in the video some type of numbers on what gear you're in as you are splitting and shifting your highs and lows just saying
