DJ,
This is a derailment....
I liked the Fountain area a lot. I've ridden my bike (crotch rocket) from Colorado Springs to Fountain a couple of times. It's one of the sweetest rides at moderate speed (when traffic allows). It compares to Wolf Creek Canyon near Helena here in Montana.....only CO has more traffic.
Beautiful country.
I couldn't imagine a 7500+ lb. Excursion with 3.73 gears, 35 inch tires, and these really early shifts at 6000 ft. I had a hell of a time one year I went to Colorado Springs in my 95 PSD. I was only running 35 inch tires, 4.10 gears, and a Big Hoss chip and that thing was a TURD.....even though it was better than average here at 4000 ft. Having no air is a real handicap. Sea level would ROCK.

Eight 7.3L PSDs in the driveway including a 1994 Crown Vic and 1973 F100/2002 F350. Looking for the next victim.
