Got stuck today at a friend's sister's house. They bought a farm house in need of restoration, and I volunteered to help. I loaded my truck up with carpets and mattresses and tried to turn around in a downhill pulloff beside their driveway, so that my bed would face their burn pile. And i slipped lower, and lower, and lower. And now I'm stuck. I have ZERO traction. I can't even move in my rut any more. And the jeep they sent to tow me out almost got stuck. Tomorrow I shall return with a shovel.

Anybody else have a bad experience with their truck today?

 

Be very careful when trying to rock an automatic as this is a true weak point of the Torqueflites. You can easily blow out the case if you don't stop completely between forward and reverse. A tow truck is much cheaper than a transmission and a tow truck.

 

Oh. Geez. I didn't know they had that problem. I'll be sure to avoid that when I head back for round two today.

 

Getting stuck is always fun, sounds like you got er bad. I've been stuck twice, and its because I put the Michelin LTX's on for winter time, once I just pulled out a GMC and a Ford, and I tried to turn around got stuck in a rut, ended up having to cut down some trees to get them out the way and dig my own path LOL. The 2nd time I was really stuck, and the only thing that could make it back was a backhoe, that cost me a bottle of Vodka....

 

if you have a farm jack that might help you get unstuck.

 

Hmmmm . . . i have a jack, and a shovel, some tow straps, and basic knowledge of pulleys. Wish me luck.

 

That's a good way to get the tranny too hot also.

 

I have had lots of vehicles stuck i found a solution, its a M-35A2 it does a good job of pulling out our vehicles.

 

Haha. I'd kill for a deuce! I got it out after about two hours today. No deuce involved, but I did need some help from a Cherokee.

 

Lol my deuce has pulled out my nissan many of times my dodge before my blazer many times, and numerous neighorbors something baout being at 9100 feet altitude and 3 feet of snow makes it useful for me glad you got it out
