I keep reading these posts about pulling semis and stuff that can't get traction. Last Tues. I was OReillys in Fargo installing DSL and a tractor trailer couldn't get up the incline due to all the snow. Well the guys dared me to try to pull him on up. I did it and of course no video or pics. It was only a day cab tandem axle tractor with a 48 ft. trailer. But the driver was very greatfull.
Well this afternoon, Mikey gets off the bus and the driver decides to turn around in the driveway. (which is a normal thing depending on the snow drifts) She gets stuck in the drifts. Mikey comes running in and grabs the cam. and begs me to pull it out. Video below. I know it doesn't like like I did crap and I really didn't think I did either, but Mikey is all over me to post this. I am also posting video of me trying to get out of the same spot a day ago. Mikey got that from inside the house. We live about 6 miles down a dirt road and the last video shows what they use to bust the drifts. Living here has actually been an awesome experience compared to SC.

sweeeeet!!!!

it was my idea.... since i was talking to mike while the driver got the bus stuck.....

 

Yes it was.

 

that second vid looks like it got a little smokey...... what was the smarty set at?

 

Ha Nice! I love snow!

 

haha glad ure likin the nd winter... hows the truck like it??

 

 

It's set on 3, but I have the torque set to stock. I would get on the road with even the slightest bit of slippery and you couldn't keep the rear end in line with the front. Most of that was condensation though, it was around -18 that morning and when it gets that cold she is huffin all the way down the interstate.

Having fun keeping the batteries charged, even plugged in with 2 quilts over the hood, the grid heater stays on for awhile before starting and it drains em big time.

 

ya i hear ya there... my truck wouldnt start as soon as it got cold so i put in two new gm batteries and it starts like a dream and i dont think my block heater works so i dont plug it in but she will still start on the coldest of mornings when i need her... ive also noticed that it dont blow any black smoke when it is really cold... it blows white when it warms up idk if it is bad or not... i heard white smoke means the injectors are goin bad???

 

Im suprized they let you do that , i figured with the kids on the bus ect
