Thanks for the advice guys. No problems going up the hill today!

Talked with another deuce owner who has driven that hill. It is definitely my driving that was the problem. He has to downshift and up the rpm well before I tried. Now I know. Thanks guys for putting up with my silly question.

This is where I should've read up more on diesels. Sounds like it's my technique rather then mechanical issues then?

I'LL be traversing this hill every time I drive her now that I've moved. So, stalling is no bueno.

Mike, I downshifted and punch it. Then she recovered after some more sputtering for like 2 seconds. I kept the pedal to the floor to get her up the hill after that.

I would say I saw 5 to 7 mph on the speedo as she started to stall. She was going more lIke 20 before the slope change. In hind sight, yes, I was still in high range. Steepest on road hill ive ever seen. Lmbo. Goes from 20 to about 35 degrees half way up the hill where she slowed and sputtered.

The last time I ended up with air in every injector and she wouldn't start back up. This time I pegged the pedal and got her to recover.

Gimpyrobb, Full tank if road diesel. 35 degree incline. 3rd gear. Runs great on flat ground. M35a2. As it stalled I believe I was at 5 mph. Fuel filter should be about 4.5 years old with 600 miles on them.

So, I was driving my deuce bobber home from getting a full bumper put on the back and she stalls out going up a steep hill to my place. This is the second time a hill has stalled her out. Suggestions on what to look for? I'm not very diesel inclined yet.
