Atta Girl Lisa, you'll have fun.
I pull the Homecoming float, the Christmas parade float, and the opening day for Baseball and Softball float. I have been participating in all these parades for 9 years now, and I thouroghly enjoy it. Small town life is fun.

I looked, and nope dont have any. Seems all the moms are more worried about taking pictures of their little angels than my truck...... Gonna have to have a talk with them about that.

Lisa- put the truck in 4low and 1st and just let it crawl, should do the trick for ya. Just take it out of 4x4 around the corners if there are any.

Good deal Lias. Put your truck in 4x4 low and unplug the solenoid on the passenger side firewall so the auto hubs don't lock up. Very easy to do, then you don't have to worry about the front binding up.
If you have ESOF hubs.

Mine are manual. I'll find out how sharp the corners are on the parade route. I also have an auto transmission..with a handshaker maintaining a slow crawl is a bit easier.

One thing to think about is doing a TC lock-up switch. Depending on how long the parade is, that slow with a constant load or even idling in gear can really heat up the tranny temps. Or if you can coast, pop it into neutral.
Good luck, it's a lot of fun! If you think you have people looking at your truck now, wait till you roll around in the parade, it's fun when people yell out from the side of the street!!
