Seeing as like 75% of you have them, how do they do in snow? I cant imagine they are horrible, or outstanding either. But as long as they do ok thats fine, im going to add some weights to my bed soon also

First night home before midnight in week. Pulled a sub 11 hour day for the first time since Sandy hit. Called it early due to snow and wind. Didn't get over 20mph on route 1 or 80.

Something wrong with the truck. Starts up fine but with a miss go 200 feet down the road it starts missing then dies. Tough to re-start when it catches it runs very rough and blows white smoke. After a while it will stay running but with the same miss. Have to hook up AE still but I'm thinking UVCH or injectors? 169,000 on the truck.

Ray: Any chance I could use your shop for some exploratory surgery on my truck this Saturday? Wanting to pull valve covers check the plugs on the harness and ohm the harness.

I don't happen to have a spare IDM to try so the truck is staying parked for now.

I really need to get AE hooked up before I go much further but I'm assuming it's either a harness, injector, or IDM issue. IDM has been brought up by a few people I've spoken to.
