Is there a known limit to the grade at which the fuel delivery system will adequately operate?
I was doing some light wheeling, and we went up a short hill at probably 45 degrees. Just after that was a hill maybe one and a half cruiser lengths long, but maybe 60-70 degrees. Got the nose just to the top of the steeper hill and the truck shut off. I did my best to not panic and stomp the brakes, because i was legitimately concerned with flipping backwards.
I was creeping up this hill in 4 Low, with center and rear lockers engaged, and a fuel tank on half. I don't know where the pickup is located on the tank, but is it more likely that the pickup was above the fuel level or that the fuel pump failed to push hard enough against gravity?
