Automatic screws it up a bit but the old rule to make it easy on the truck and engine is never to climb a long hill floored. You down gear just enough to allow it to climb at part throttle. Engine temperature comes down, egt's come down, mileage comes up. You climb at the speed that the truck wants to handle at part throttle.
