So I found a motocross hill climb the other day and thought hummmm that looks fun.... The hill had to be 35 to 40 degrees, I mean almost straight up. I could feel the front of the truck wanting to lift up. I got to the top and started backing down when an alarm went off, the dash saying low oil pressure and then the engine shut down. Scared the shit out of me because I'm still on this hill now with no power breaks and steering sliding backwards..

Any one know of this happening, and also what the maximum degrees up and down thus truck will handle?

This has happened to me twice and I wasn't even on a hill. The most recent time, I was on the freeway. Both times I shut the truck off and it fired right back up.

Let us know when you get a verdict from your dealer, SimonCL. I'll check in on this thread in case my help is needed.
