Mine didn't. It just easily made it up the hardest sections many times, much to the amazement of the audience of Patrol and Cruiser owners who couldn't get near the top! A couple of times I got off line in the bumps at the bottom and it did stop while just coming over the top but it didn't stall. But then again I got off the throttle with some mechanical sympathy, not just a massive lift off under full power!
I found that the best thing was to do it in third gear low range, as I would have in my old Chev Patrol. I also tried second, which was OK but third was better and didn't require huge throttle settings. I think I also did it one time in fourth low to see how it would do it and it made it fine also.
