This is not practical where I live. You are often driving through 6-10" of snow, and you aren't going to be running chains on the interstate or the side roads. You'd be crawling a creating a hazard. Also, packed ice and deep slush is a common occurrence. You aren't going to chain up for that...

Well, I'm glad they work for you. I have no doubt the NDT's can plow through deep snow, it's my position that the really slick stuff is their downfall. Whatever you are comfortable with. Coincidentally, I just got back this afternoon from hauling my elk out. Felt really lucky as I didn't see...

Those tires would have you in the ditch every single storm here in the mountains of Colorado. I mean the mountains, not Denver. NDT's can spin through a bunch, but you wouldn't make it 5 miles here, even fully locked up. Crappy tires for anything but plowing straight. Try a few passes in...

Same thing happened to me when failed to keep the tank full on a very cold spell (-F's). Blue smoke as well. Filled the tank with some winter diesel, added some antigel, changed the fuel filter and it cleared right up.

Same thing happened to me. Swapped the fuse for a circuit breaker and did the relay bypass. Knock on wood, hasn't failed me yet, but left a few pair of undies pretty dirty when it did in the past. Always in a whiteout snowstorm on a mountain pass. Scary stuff.

I agree. I put my bottle jack up on blocks or use a floor jack, then I always use jack stands once I get it up. I had some new tires installed recently, and was absolutely cringing when I saw them just relying on two jacks to support each axle.

I use a high amp freeze plug heater and an inline lower radiator hose heater. Absolutely essential where I live. But single digits, which we've already have had, are no problem starts without them. So my recommendation would be to instal one for the convenience and benefits described above...

That's where your gp relay is. Have you done the resistor bypass? If you try to start it with the hood open and hanging out the door, you should be able to figure it out. Good luck.

Can you take some pics of the mount? Kingpin springs are on your front axle.

Can you post more pics of that winch install? Also, change out your kingpin springs to address the death wobble.

Leaky throttle shaft seal on the IP?

A m1028.

Today I just put a set of Cooper Discoverer M+S's on the M1028 in the 285/75 r16 variety. Best snow tire I have ever run. 10 ply load range E.

What does your voltmeter in the cab read? Test the alts. Load test the batts.

And a winch is cheap?

Pour some fuel down the intake.

Best bet would be to have a front and rear receiver and use a receiver mount for the winch. Why you would want to hook it to the shackles escapes me. http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-systems/multi_mount.shtml

Talk about good luck!

Fuel? - in the tank? -coming through the filter? Is it cranking, clicking? Is the orange wire on the IP?

I'd wager on cascading failure of plugs. Replace and do the resister bypass mod.
