Default pulled a chevy out again :P

Noticed the neighbors 2010 chevy 3500 d-max crew cab buried in her field to the frame, so i went down of course and offered to get her out. It took probably 10tries and a few hard tugs to get her out of that hole then she sunk it again just as i got on to solid ground. I was going to attempt to get her out againt but i sunk myself and almost didnt get out lol, so she waited till the am when it was 22 degrees and was able to get it out. Felt pretty cool yanking a damx tho :P Even with my wide aggressive tires i was sinking bad so i had to keep moving and that kept me floating(untill i stopped and sunk....) I will get pics of the field and her truck but i was kinda busy gettin mine out to get pics( didnt wanna have to walk back and get the cummins)

Is it the same joint going out? It could be something in the suspension that is misaligned.

Nice man. thats crazy tho 6 u joints. I get the cheaper u joints at advance because for some reason they have grease fittings and the more expensive ones dont.

6 u joints in 3 months=you have something out of alignment.

Which ones are going out? Wheel joints, rear D-shaft, front d-shaft, or a combination thereof?

If youve gone through that many, its not the ujoint its gotta be something else. Think of it like this. If you keep running through tires cause they where fast and in odd spots, buying new tires all the time is just covering up the problem. You need to get an alighnment haha... so look deeper into it.
