Yes, the 2.88 gears in the SD and the larger tires seem to limit it's maximum speed to about 60-62 on such grades.
I've found a new way to save fuel, however.........take those hills at 60 mph...........the rack position is about 1/2 of the position necessary for 64 mph.........quite interesting actually.
The SD did 31.47, again......on the last tank.
