I wish I had pictures of my (only) stuck so far this year. Only word I could come up with is pathetic. I got a start at a mudhole, hit it and discovered it was ALOT deeper than I expected (as in mud, not water, but mud coming through the bottom of my doors). I stay on the throttle and it pulls through, barely. Never officially stopped, but was very close.
So anyway, my nose pops out of this mud hole and my tail follows. Right as my rear tires hit the cusp of the transistion from mudhole to ground, I stop (not voluntarily). My front tires were on flat ground and my whole truck was out of the hole except for 2" (maybe). I'm sitting there with 3 tires spinning, trying to get myself to move that extra 2 inches to solid ground. . .
For pulling through a mudhole where my frame and both diffs were dragging, it got stuck in a stupendously pathetic manner.

The time i decided i needed to mod my motor was up in the hills of northern Idaho where i was pushin snow to the hood. I came around a corner and started sliding, when i floored it to power out the damn l6 just bogged down, couldn't handle the 35's i guess and i went Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee right off the side of the mountain...
Had to walk 13 miles in the freakin snow to get ahold of someone to pull me out (98 Chev with posi...) but i was buried into snow where i had to crawl out the windows... it ended up taking that truck plus 2 come-alongs to winch my butt back onto the road....
(what was i doing in snow with 35's?)

zMust be like 2.73's because when I chain up to chevys I can shift gears I was in 3rd going about 25mph and punched it and gave the chevy driver whip lash she didn't bog down thats for 4#$# sure.. Give your truck a good tune up. or change gears it is NOT the 6's fault and I only have 3.73's I'll go up to 4.30 gears with 33" MT and that will be a nice improvement.
