OK, starting out from a dead stop , you're in first gear .
The Allison shift pad ( I'm assuming a shift pad with a six speed Allison here ; if that's not your trans , please add info to your post) shows " 6 " as the top gear the trans will go to , when accelerating depending on the speed achieved , that you didn't mention
you may have gone up a couple of gears , but the shift pad would still show 6, if the trans felt that a lower gear would over rev the engine it will not downshift .
What RPM were you turning at 20 MPH. if it was over 2,000 you were probably in the lowest gear possible without over revving the engine.
Did you drive this hill before the turbo replacement and achieve a higher speed ??
Need to compare apples to apples here , not this coach to a different vehicle.
