Climb every mountain, ...
I would not be surprised to see 1050 on my 89SP. Your boost of 15 psi
is great. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, john duke > > To all BB guys > I have a question about climbing in a Blu-Bird. I have my WLSP 36 now for 10 years and I keep looking at mountain grades more and more. My last BIG endevour was the Calif. Tehachapi pass from Bakersfield on up to where the windmills are. I pushed the coach as hard as I could and saw Pyro reach 1050 at times and boost 15+. Water and Oil temps were never over 190F Tranny was also in limits(95C). I passed almost every truck on that climb.(Towing my jeep wrangler). Yet I keep watching the grades and reading about them if they are listed. > Going into Yosemite from the west, I would not take my BB up those grades, yet I saw all kinds of busses and motorhomes going right in there. WHAT is the limit that a Blue-Bird can do?? Am I too timid or over cautious in generalor is a 10% grade too much? I would love to hear of some of your experiences. > Thanks > Juergen in PA > 1991 WLSP36 > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
