yeah i agree but with the damage to the front im not to sure about chains on the front tires wouldnt concern me a bit on the rear and yeah i believe that my truck talked with a telephone pole or tree at some point but hey that doesn't bother me a bit because shes still runnin great and gets the job done

 

for a d series all you need is chains on the back.

 

Ironmower: There is more weight on the front axles than the rear. IE better traction. If you are pushing a plow with light snow the front won't get pushed around and end up in a ditch. Now when I need it I use all 4 chains and even add weight to the bed. It is just my progression with front chains first, then I add rear chains, then I add weight as the conditions dictate.

Crazzywolfie: I realize that chains for the back of a D series is the way to go. When I suggested chains for the front of his truck I didn't notice he had a D series. That is why I went back and edited my suggestion when i realized his was a D series.

 

i just high lighted bolded and italic ed it so that hopefully the others would understand what you were saying. i under stand what you were saying even though it could have used 1 more word.

 

Do you have a regular or suregrip rear end? With my open diff, my truck sure likes to set off the one wheel squeal. I don't think I'd purposely put it through any real mud without a buddy and a big rope. Although, it does seem to do better when both rear wheels are swimming than just one. With both having no traction, they are both free to spin and creep you forward, or at least that is my theory.

 

Thats my problem also. I'd love to paint my red truck up but I know Its just gonna get beat up again. Maybe a cheap spray in the garage this summer to keep the new fenders from rusting tho (the primer they come with doesn't last at all.)
