Has anyone driven these grades during snow conditions? First is Mt. Shasta Grade, Grants Pass and then the Siskius grade. We are now going to Washington but want to head back south around Januarary or February towards Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. Our concerns are going down the grades. We have a 3500RL towed by a Ford F350 crew cab, 6.0 Diesel. We know the heater works great, lol. Its a lot of weight pushing the truck down hill. Any ideas or advice will be welcomed. Its our first winter road experience. L ooking forward to the fall and winter scenery changes.
