I don't know who would use 4x4 in the rain, but that is down right overkill. I was inquiring about using 4x4 on black ice. The roads were clearly coated in a fine layer of ice. A couple of times my rear end swayed on me. After I put it in 4x4, the truck sustained controlled on the rest of the way to work.

 

Id say stuff to all your faces. Im not afraid, but I wouldnt. Im only 6'0 so I couldnt really get on the same level

 

should be ok im a vol. ff and on day we got hit for a house fire and in was haleing and pouring rain and i ran my truck had!!! the 2 miles to the staion in hi and it was fine i was buring cars in rain and hail going up hills and they had stoped and if i hadnt i would have never had it up the hillcause my tires and done there like slicks now!!! anyone have some tires!!!!

 

haha sorry man my tires are getting there the next set for me are mudders

 

LOL. I needed that. I guess its easy to talk crap thru the keyboard!!! But I will say this limited slip on ice sucks and it doesnt matter if you are in 4 wheel drive or not. Take this from somebody who has spent over 8months a year with the roads covered in ice!!! I run in 2 wheel drive all year b/c it is damn near impossible to turn my truck in 4 wheel drive.

 

whats wrong with using it in the rain? i do it just in case. dont need my insurance going up anymore.

 

first off... you need to respect the ram, you can do this by: not treating your truck like a sports car, driver slower in poor weather conditions, and not using 4wd in the rain!

second.. you're a kid who thinks he's hot **** cause he drives a big truck.. grow up and drive your truck like a man.. by using 4wd only when necessary

if you think i'm full of crap.. continue to drive in the rain like a girl w/ 4wd.. and let me know when you snap your freakin axle in half!

 

im still yong so i can screw up now in life instead of later so just chill and like u didnt do the same when you were a kid and im learning to respect the ram by not doing burn outs when i have wanted to...rain and hail the size of golf ***** and that much rain the hail was flying passed me cause of the rain you couldnt see the end of my road it meets 2 creeks the hole road was coverd in sticks mud rock the next day the township came in and had to clear the road.

 

Golf ball sized hail ain't nothing. Mud is fine for 4x4, not rain.

Hail bigger than softballs, thats somethin.

 

i disengage 4wd when im about to turn and i only use it when its pouring and i cant see anything or when the roads are really slick. my tires dont grip on very well in the rain. And i dont use my truck as a sports car.
