Hi Jerry
On the 261 with 6.5 axles and a 50% reduction in 4x4 low range, it is quite easy to reach and stay at 3000rpm in second and third gear while bouncing around relatively slowly....... but the 261 seems to take it in stride..... down shifting with double clutch going up steep hill is a challenge and I missed quite a few...dead stop and start in 1st gear until you reach the peak.....can't brake going down hill as the wheels will lock and the trucks keeps rolling on the washed out stones...it is like ice and you have to pump the brakes. Fortunately you can adjust your brakes with two 3/4 inch wrenches lying underneath without having to jack it up..... adjust the twin cams on each backing plate and back on the road in 20 minutes
