Default Our trucks in mud

Question. How well do our trucks do in the Mud with this heavy engine? I somewhat already know to answer to that, but I was still sitting on stock tires when that happened.

I haven't had my 04 in the mud yet, but my old 2001 CDT did pretty well. I had some moderately aggressive tires on it, not mudders by any means. I found that as long as I kept my momentum going I could get through just about anything.

Its weight, and if u go mudding make sure u bring alot of recovery stuff b/c when a diesel gets stuck its stuck. The saying is usly if u got a diesel you lift it and put some BIG *** tires on it so you dont sink. If you play on mudding with a diesel i would say with 35's + , b/c your a 2500 most other mudding trucks will be 1500, trying to pull a 2500 bogged down HELL alot b/c you have been spinning a **** load to try and get out + suchken.

Lol, that chic is HOT! Yeah. Ehhhhem. I have 35 Pro Comp X A/T's on there now, and I have a 2 1/2 inch lift. I aint plannin on going through deep ****, but you never really know how deep it is until you are at the bottom. Mud is my favorite terrain, and I want to be able to slop through it without worry.

This is 4 days after the fun, in which it snowed twice and rained once. You couldn't tell what color it was when I got it home. Couldn't get it stuck for the life of me... And I was tryin!
