Took my beast out today and tore up some 2-3ft deep snow. Funny the big block with over 500hp just seems to need more power now, think I am just getting to used to it. It kicks but easily, will literally smoke the 40" Mud tires taking off in 2nd gear, think I may need to step it up to 600 plus. Won't make the gas mileage part of the forum.
Thanks again. Your truck sounds like a beast, I would love to have that horsepower- but 40" tires are expensive!! I think the future plans are the same as when i started it. I wanted a reliable, fun truck to camp, explore, run to the grocery store and definitely play in the snow- as a matter of fact, if I didn't feel like dog poo I would love to be out in it now. I am not a car show kinda person, I might go to a local show and shine once or twice, but I'd rather be out in the woods.
