Alarming experience driving my 2500 Ram in the snow for the first time.

My truck is pretty slouchy in 4hi, I attribute that to crappy gearing /big tires and driving one more axle. In 4 lo it's awesome.
If I could drive 40 mph steady I would not be in 4wd, there shouldn't be a reason. You can always pull the t-case lever down when you need it. I use 4wd like a compression brake so I don't slide.
But if your rings are toast and you have no power (only diesels like to burn oil) it would certainly be a contibuting factor

I'd like to just test the catalytic converter theory and hack the cat right off. I know it's not the most ethical thing to do, but staring down the barrel of the holidays I don't have a whole lot of options $ wise to spend $150 on a cat and $350 on a shop to install it. Under this truck there is not a whole lot of playing room for hacking it off, however. I'm not sure wtf to do here. I certainly don't want to cause any more harm to whats left of the engine.

Thinking about looking for a deal on a 12 valve first-gen Cummins to swap in, but haven't gotten brave enough.
