About to check a rural property and its been raining and flooding a lot. Checking fence lines and barns.

Not going muddin for fun. Wish my bling 22s good luck.

What do you have best luck in? Doing this task in your experience

 

I haven't done any off-road driving in the SD, in my other 4wd vehicles I typically use 4hi unless I need the gear reduction that 4lo offers. That could be for large obstacles or steep incline/decline.

 

I would use 4Hi and watch for low possibly marshy spots when momentum is very important. 4Lo for crawling over obstacles and steep ascent/descent.

 

4 hi, make sure the hubs are locked in ahead of time.

 

4H unless you need more power. When none of the tires will have good traction, turn traction control off in advance.

 

4hi advance track off worked. Started off in 4lo, I was worried about trees down and needing it but was clear.

Yokohama G015 worked fine but its sandy there and these are 325 wide. Wheels are fine.

 

Yeah truth be told i have never needed to in my superduties unless backing in a trailer.

 

I generally run 4 high unless low range is needed for ascent/descent. I've seen guys get burried in mud due to running 4 low and breaking traction constantly, same with snow. I recently had to use 4 low while doing some work and pulling 10,000lbs of gravel. Had to maneuver down a semi-steep gravel driveway through some woods.

 

This is probably the most important thing to remember.

 

Yes always kill the advancetrac if there is any question. Had that crap get me stuck in 2wds on several occasions.

 

I would take the Wolverine if it's wet/ muddy in a field checking fence lines instead of burying a 4 ton truck.

 

No choice. In the area for mother’s day and no one has checked on it.


I have a jeep and a first gen tacoma too but not here. Superduty faired just fine though.

 

A lot of that is wrong unfortunately. The traction control and RSC are always on. Led me down the path of putting the ABS circuit on an upfitter switch to actually disable that stuff. The newer trucks might be programmed differently though.

 

OOPS! hate spreading wrong info so I edited it from the previous post... Pretty sure I stole that from you, and I remembered following that thread but must have missed the final outcome

 

That was another thought, that 4lo completely turns of RSC.

I don’t trust that it’s completely off after holding the button down 5 seconds. I have some horror stories about getting stuck in 2wd f250s, like it forces you to get stuck.
