Yeah only things is the rear pump don't work well for some reason. Every time I use the rear tank, I get a very loud squealing sound coming from under the drivers floor board. I'm not sure if its the switch or the hi flo pump making all the noise, and the truck will die or stumble. I guess it easier and cheaper to just use the front tank at all times and siphon gas out of the rear once or twice a year.

If you ever come across another set of chains you should let me know. I"d love to get some for my 32''s. My buddy just came back from Oregon and wants to do some snow wheeling, so I'm sure I'll be going out in the next few days.

Yeah let me know if you dig something up. I looked into it for a short period and it sounds like it may be the selector switch not making a complete switch. I've herd you can install a manual one but since it worked fine off the front I just put if off. Would be nice if it was something cheap and simple, I've never been able to use both tanks, which I think would be nice.

Yeah it don't get me to far. Especially if wheeling in 4 low. I actually ran out of gas the other morning when it was -20 below. That sucked! lol.

Man that would suck!

On a different note, I got a adjustable fuel pressure regulator installed on my 94 today, and a Mustang A9L computer is on the way too!, so soon this will be running nice and no CEL!!!

Did u have a good x-mas?

Mine went well. Pickup burned fuel like crazy on the trip to Fargo and back. Lol. Think got around 12 mpg.

As for this weekend and a snow outing, the Desert might be a better bet than the section lines. Wind blew some nasty drifts out there.

Idk if sat or sunday is better tho, I'll see what everyone else is wanting to do.

Christmas flew by. One friday I spent about 5 hours on technical support lines trying to get a couple electronic devices working. So that kinda sucked. lol On Saturday I went to the desert for a couple hours. It was pretty sweet out there. Its on the verge of becoming a big struggle though. I'd say it was a constant 18'' and a majority of 24"-30" depts, and its pretty crusted over. Let just say between the snow and some of the deeper sandy areas its got major potential to get you real stuck. We spent about 20 min just trying to turn my buddies 4runner with 33's around in the sandy parts. Funny enough I was able to maneuver rate around him, so that rubbed it in a bit. lol If we get all that snow that's predicted tomorrow I doubt I'll be able to make it around down there either, but I'll try.

Well I know the section lines are pointless to try until I get my wheeler back together.

So I guess could always take my Dads Bronco to the desert or put some chains on my 94
I'll have to see if I have a set that will fit urs. They would make a huge difference down there. I guess we will just have to play it by ear. Hard to say what's going to happen with the end of the week. Hell I might be hauling my tractor around and digging peoples driveways out. Lol

It would be sweet to just take your wheeler! How much longer before its running again?

If we get anything under a foot of snow and its half fluffy I don't think we'd have a whole lot of trouble, but it will be about waste deep by then. Its already over my knees. Its just breaking the trail that's a pain in the ***. I could only imagine what it would be like to chain up. That would be sweet! I've been scanning bis man in hopes to find a decent set. When you chain up do you chain all 4 sides or just the rear?

Prob a month or two for the wheeler

If I have chains for all 4 tires I do all 4s. Of not I just do the rears. Works pritty good most of the time. Night and day difference with chains vs. Without.

Oh I bet they do. I found a add on bisman selling semi chains used for 30. each. I wonder how much I'd have to cut off to fit my 32's. I know the circumference of 32" tire is 100.5" so I'm sure I'd have to do some trimming. But 100" length seems way to long to me, that 8 1/3 feet. lol Maybe I've lost my math formula's. lol

Truck TIre Chains & CHain Holders new & Used 295/75R22.5 - 285/75R24.5
