2000 Ford F250 V10. 213k+ miles. I drop out of OD gear all the time here. Cajon Pass, Sherwin Grade. I 40 dropping into Kingman, I15 into Vegas. 213K on my original trans. Just a few brake taps to keep the speed in check and it's all good. I also did the same with a Suburban with a TH400 trans. I guess brake fade isn't a thing to be concerned about for some people.
