Definitely agree about the defrost which could have been related to my issue of wipers icing up. It was cooking me so I turned it down a few times.
We're getting ice today been raining since early this morning and currently only 27°. My ABS, TC, and SC were all working today. Still ran 2wd...
I think this has a lot to do with the variable cam timing. You can really notice this if you slowly run through 1st gear and how the engine responds to acceleration. It's basically dead flat feeling until you break that 1500-1800 band and then it takes off. I believe this is just...
My dealer had said it could be done but would have to be done by a third party. The driver will have to leave the truck in neutral and parking brake set. I haven't dug into the matter yet but it seems possible.
To my knowledge the lockers are only available in 4lo. So unless you are chewing you're way down a camp trail that hasn't been plowed with 2' of snow it won't make much of a difference. Running 4hi on snow covered roads is typical. My experience is running 4hi and short shift into higher...
I can't speak for the best model for snow, but my Sports S with 6spd hasn't disappointed. For most driving applications you won't be using the limited slip or diff locks so tires and driver ability is going to be the biggest factor.
This is the route I'm going. Just need time to install. Yeah I know the rule of thumb is 1.5-2x the GVWR. My truck is rated at 5800 but a curb weight I'm around 4600 and for the most part I run pretty light and with a snatch block I don't feel like I would need more. Definitely could have...
Yes I have done the reach through the window bit before. Probably won't be pouring coffee in my latch as that would possibly work to thaw it but will definitely freeze again shortly after and possibly worsen by adding more moisture in the latch.
I know how to clear snow off it the tonneau...
This week has been busy for us getting some real winter experience in. So far I haven't gotten my truck stuck yet and it's providing to be very good in snow. Still running the stock Dueler ATs was able to blast my self through some serious snow. This morning one section of road wasn't plowed...
