Nice, How did your truck do?

 

Truck did great, I figured if I could make it out my driveway which had snow drifts up to 30" I shouldnt have any other problems, haha. Took my family to waldorf and got some food, ended up pulling out a dodge magnum, 4 door jeep, and a dodge ram on the way home.

 

BADASS!, I found out today trying to help redz out my winch is messed up and i think i blew the line on my locker so i have some fixin to do.

 

That aint no good man, I had my truck at the dealer thursday/friday, getting the check engine light turned off and try to find a vibration I have in my front end. The light was on for a bad charcoal canister, and they couldnt figure out the vibration, just told me "all lifted trucks vibrate"..

 

That is a sweet truck. I just bought my 2007.

 

Yea man im pissed, I guess its time to upgrade to a top of the line one, What kind of vibration is it? Does it stay all the time or come and go.

 

Its there all the time, only can really feel it from 10-40mph in the steering wheel and gas pedal, from my research on here and TN, it is the front diff or a front left wheel bearing. Im really hoping its a wheel bearing, haha.

 

Well it could be a few of things, Wheel bearing is something to check tho

 

Yeah, iv jacked it up and all seems tight, but only way to really check is to pull it apart, I got it in the garage now, maybe ill get to it tomorrow, chances are I wont tho, too much fun to go play in the snow, haha.

 

True that

 

Same thing with my HID's, still aint got them in.

 

Damn dude

 

Nope were at 23" and still goin into tommrow

 

it finally quit snowing here... we got right around 2' of it. i spent all day yesterday riding around winching out emergency vehicles...

 

How many did you get. I got to tow out 4 people.

One was brand new GMC dually that slide into a ditch. 2 F-250 their other work trucks, and me hooked up to one of the F-250 got him out. That was the most fun I had all day.

 

well started off winching out my chief... that was a new ford expedition. then went and winched out the rescue squads tahoe. after that i pulled out the hospitals ambulance, then one of the other rescue squads ambulance. the last one was the kicker. it was an f-550 with a big ambulance box, and stuck in a 2' deep ditch... took a little thinking to get that one out.

actually our brush truck tried to winch the last one out first but the winch exploded..... yes exploded. it blew the motor and worm gears completely off the body and drum of the winch.....


ohh and not to mention the 1000 people we had stranded on the interstate here.. the national guard showed up yesterday with humvee's and unimogs to start pulling people off the interstate and transporting them to the local high school until things clear up and we reopen the interstate.

 

We ended up with about 2' of it, I did more driving people out of the neighborhood, I went over to redz to pull chocotaco out, Tryed to winch redz out but my winch wasnt workin i guess the control box is fried.

 

most likely the solenoid is corroded up... i have the smittybuild xrc winch and i'm pretty sure its made by milemarker.. i had issues with mine awhile back not wanting to work and after some investigation turned out the solenoid was full of corrosion. after a thorough cleaning it was back to working fine....

might want to take it off, pull it apart and check it first.....
