That drive you are referring to is Parley's Canyon. A real brake burner if your not ready for it. I have seen many a semi headed down that canyon smoking their brakes. Maintaining ones speed at or below 60, use a lower gear, light on the brakes. Get the truck to do all the work through tranny and engine rpm's. Tow Haul mode is a big help as I usually take that canyon on a regular basis pulling my 5er to my favorite cg's in the summer. Much easier now that I have a F-350 with the 6.7. Had F-350 with the 6.0 and that also worked well but on the brakes a little more. Just enough to keep speed at 60 or lower. Knowing where the "white knuckle" areas are helps as well.
