There's nothing like pulling a Ford out of mud hole! Some guy decided to take a stroll through a pasture by my house and got stuck, so being the nice person I am, I pulled him out. Any of you have any stories of pulling other big name pickups out?

For some reason I usually find Fords in the snow.. :fume: Here's one and a Jeep that tried to hit the mud though..

The stupid ford kept getting stuck trying to get back to the road so my buddy (other Chevy) just hooked up to him and pulled (dragged) him all the way to the road. There was a solid 2 inches of mud caked on the Ford :lol:

The rest of the pictures I have are of me pulling out a GMC so we'll keep those hush hush. :D

I love pulling people outta the snow in the Silverado. I do $20 a pop, because usually they're in a ditch, which most trucks couldn't pull them out of anyway. Half price for GMs :fume: but the reason it's so easy for me to pull them out is because i've got an 800 pound plow on the front. If they're in the ditch, i just drive to the edge of the road, drop the plow, hook the plow to something really solid on their truck, raise the plow (ie: lifting one end of their truck completely up) then back up. My front wheels have no problem getting traction when i've got the weight of a plow, plus one end of a truck on them :lol:

Seriously!with the tires the Ford had, he didn't stand a chance!

 

Agreed! Tires and skill are the two biggest factors in how well one does in the slick stuff (or any non-paved terrain, for that matter). The brand of your equipment is really not that important!

I don't know. The GM Trucks seem like they can go almost anywhere for some reason. Ive taken mine through a field with pretty deep snow, and the only problem I had was my front end plowing. An F-150 that bodystyle in the pic above tried it and spun the whole time before backing out onto the road again. I agree tires have alot to do with it but there is something about how GM has their 4wd system because these trucks will go.

The locking rear-end is probably one of the biggest helps in your situation. Most Ford trucks have limited-slips and open rearends (with exception of the FX4s that have electronic lockers), and that definitely helps with the forward motion!

Yeah, I think the locking diff is awesome! I don't think it's all about 4 wheel drive though because I've seen plenty of guys with 2 wheel drive trucks that could go through some nasty stuff that guys in 4 wheel drives couldn't. It's all about how well you can drive

Haha no, I got a phone call that started with "Hey man, how are ya? Do you wanna go muddin'? Ok sweet, come meet us in the middle of nowhere.." So I shot my other Chevy buddy a call just in case more ponies were needed.

 

We're all friends so we just help eachother out for a couple beers or dinner. Which, if you look at me and the driver of the other Chevy, usually isn't cheap. Especialy when it's raining and takes a half hour to find these clowns.. :uhoh:

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By tararebecca · Posted

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By artistemorbidity · Posted

      I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.

      Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
