Mud Digger!!!
Pulled a cummins out of the mud today. Awesome feeling!!! I only have stock size Revo A/T's and a level lift on my 06' 4x4. And he was hung up bad!! I got him out the first time, then got stuck and he got me out, then he got stuck again tryin to get the rest of the way out of the woods and this time the front axle was sitting on the ground. It took me and a small tractor to get him out the second time. He's now a fan of the HEMI!!! lol

I've pulled more diesel trucks out of mud/sand than gassers even though I see 10x more gassers off-road than diesels. Diesels as a rule are poor off-road vehicles simply because of the weight of the engine, especially those trucks with 8 cylinder diesels.
I helped a guy off the beach a couple of years ago with a PowerStroke who bogged the front end down in the sand below the axle and his rear tires were only a couple of feet off the pavement. Poor guy was watching girls in front wheel drive ricer cars go around him and drive on down the beach...

Ya that was definitley the case today. I dont know why he got his truck to go get the atv, mine was sitting right beside his! lol Thats pretty sad about the powerchoke. I think my pride would be hurtin with all the ricers driving around me. Lol
Well you boys can dog diesels all you want, but my 7.3 was bad-***. I visit our local mud pits quite often and used to spend all day long pulling out the stuck gassers. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Hemi, you just have to know how to drive a diesel off road, its a different beast but it can handle what ever you throw at it.

I'm not ******* all diesels, one of my buddies has a F-250 with the 7.3 and that is a bad *****. But he has a 6" lift and 36" Super Swamper M-16's. still yet that truck has been through alot. And i dont believe it has been stuck yet.

Had me a Furd 7.3 myself. I'm not ******* diesels at all, but they are big time heavy up front which impedes them in certain off-road circumstances. There is a reason that the Power Wagon isn't offered in a CTD version...
