LOL Dave. That made me laugh inside.

Six Banger, how's that 300 doing these days anway?

To answer your question, "sze" is what a person writes when they're trying to commuicate they are having a seizure. This is why they can't actually be bothered to spell "seizure". I'm in good health and I'm not even sure I spelled it corretly as is!

Duh! Poor feller is sitting there twitching like a squirrel who just dropped his last acorns from the teliphone pole AND just found out his mother in law is moving in for a couple months.

That's what it looks like when my buddies text me up on the weekends when they are half in the bag to come hang out.

The 300 actually is placed with the task of collecting aluminum cans in its bed these days. The front drivers side spindle nut came off along with the whole wheel while I was driving it a couple weeks ago, so now it's a yard ornament until I decide what to do with it, since now that spindle and some other things are f'd up.

Dave, your brother's truck has stacks? How does it sound with the 300?

Yeah, the 300 doesn't like big tires. At all. Did he re-gear the truck to roll the 35's?

My truck was V8 fast down low when I had the 4.11 gear and 27 inch tires. Heck, I could pull an ought to 60 in 11 seconds or better (not bad for an I6). When I jumped to 31 inch tires, wow.. What a difference. Slowed me down a lot.

I'll try to find a video of how it sounds, but no, he didn't regear it. But I think I was in low range whhen I got it stuck, on the hwy, it was lucky to maintain 70 in two wheel drive.

That's a big part of why it felt like a dog. I would never consider running big tires like that without the correct gearing. Does your brother plan on putting gears in the rig?

I'm really not sure. I know he likes the "OD" the tall tires provide on the hwy, but now he has a 96 351W to haul the old red one, so he won't haqve to drive it on the hwy nowa so he might gear it

Yep, sure do.... Last time it hit the scales(before the 44s) it was 6400 pounds. The old 302 I had in the 94 did ok, but the new ZF 351W combo does pretty good. Electric trailer brakes are a wonderful thing as are rear airbags.
