Got The Truck Stuck

Sorry no pictures

gmt 900 z71 with 18" bridgestone dueler a/t.

It has been raining on and off for a few days now and everything is muddy my dad pulled out into the yard with a little trailer and goes to back up and the rear tires spin. He puts its in 4wd and all 4 tires spin and the truck just sinks in to the mud. I was in total shock. The tires just filled up with mud and had no traction at all. So I pull my truck around gmt 900 with 17" good year AT. I back the truck up and hook up bumper to bumper with a toe rope and i put it in 4wd and pull it out with out even breaking a tire loose. I am not so sure about the bridgestones now! If i had my camera I would have got pictures.

The Duelers SUCK at anything other than damp pavement. Just a cheapest bidder tire that GM threw at the truck.

We tied the hitch's together.Opps. I would think that would be ok. If you can hook a 8,000 trailer to it.

Should be fine, I've pulled out bucket trucks and the UPS guy a few times, has held up great...As long as you're not yanking at full speed every other day it'll handle the stress.

Glad you were able to get him out of it so easily... I remember when I had my '04 Sierra 2500HD and I got it stuck so bad one time, I didn't think I'd ever get her out. My buddy who said he "knew where the trail was" through a sea of cat tails failed to mention that the ruts were SUPER deep and I proceeded to wedge my rear differential pumpkin on the middle of the trail. My rear wheels were suspended haha. It took going through 3 different trucks, and a tow rope, then finally someone brought chains and my other buddy had to basically snap-jerk my truck out. MAN THAT SUCKED!! That'll never will happen with my new baby....for damn sure

I have the same tires and have had mine on the muddy farm road. Turned around in the plowed field and didn't have any problems.

Did you stop or just keep going in a circle

Yep I stopped and didn't have a problem. I had BFG on my 03 dodge and these seem to do just as good as the BFG's did. In the snow this winter they did a great job. All I am saying is I have them and they seem to work ok for me.
