the 4.4 is definitely the motor to have going up western mountains - frankly, I worry more about the brakes on the trip down (ie, Teton Pass into Jackson,WY, talk about steep!) - I try to brake on the straightaways and get off the brakes for the turns to keep the wear and heat buildup even to keep from warping the rotors
