If you chain one front and one back your gonna have one front and one back without chains that spin....

Makes sense.

I would try and put a tire on the side of the road and try to get up the soft snow. Failing that, I would use every swear word in my vocabulary, and winch up.

So chain the rear and put half ur truck in the ditch. Cool. I just wanted to ask since I haven't run into too many "hairy" situations yet. Guess I should start practicing putting my chains on!

haha sorry to disappoint. We'll get back to the lezbo's n beer in a sec.

All 4 would be best, but if you just did the rear's you'd have no steering control. Let's assume you only have one set of tires. Would my suggestion work?

???????, i've never heard of ppl doin that before, i guess maybe try it??

 

[JaySimon]

It would be a fine balance, not getting too far into the ditch that you are hooped, Ie. I'mdooin...

 

[Bogger]

I meant that with the limited slip it's usually the path of least resistenace in my experience...not sure why anyone would engineer chit like that but it is what it is....

Any chevy I've had without lockers was a PITA because your 4wd is only really ever 2wd (one front one back) and stupidly it's the tire of least resistance (without chains) that is gonna spin on ya....

Maybe I'm wrong but thats my experience anyway... posi rear and dif lock front is the only way to go...

Booger said it wouldn't work, I can see why, the other tires would be lifted off the ground.

Yeah a fine balance for sure. There wasn't much "ditch" so it would be pretty hard to teeter in.

haha you'r going to have to explain that a bit...I don't get it

I've been in many situations where one front and one rear tire will spin and trench.... once that trench is iced up those are the only 2 wheels that you can get to spin now, the other two just sit there until you add traction to the two spinning tires, then when they grab the other 2 will start to spin... it's like if you hit the ditch and had one front and one rear off the ground...the ones off the ground are gonna be the ones to spin and your hooped, my subaru will transfer power away from the spinning wheel to the one with traction..makes a lot more sense to me
... My 89 chevy 3500 will spin all 4 all the time, so long as I have one wheel touching the ground she'll pull out...

After our big snowfall here I drove my 3500 out of it's back 40 parking spot thru 2 1/2 feet of snow and over a 4' snowbank with only a couple short back & forths.... the daughters friends 2005 chevy 3/4 4x4 required rocking, gravel, and eventually plywood strips to get it out of an icy low spot in my yard...same 2 wheels kept spinnin....

Daughters s-15 does the same chit...as did my 99 silverado

Ok ok! Back to the lezbo's n beer! They didn't come out and yell at me when I backed my sled out of the trailer in front of their garage. Thats a plus! :d

And I did crush some beers this weekend.

The nut holding the steering wheel also has a lot to doo with it...just sayin

Common now.... there is not much I'm good at but playing on snow and ice is not a weak spot for me... nor is manouvering trailers.....

Lot's of peeps stuck in my yard, often or box themselves and thier trailers in...I've never had that issue....
Had to rescue a few visitors...

Mud is a different story.... stuck all the time but thats because I don't give a fawk.....or needed a beer break....:d

I have a 99 GMC and since they have really bad rear brakes(I heard there is a law suit going on in the states over 99 2500 GMC trucks and burbins).......I chain up the front end so I can pull the front end up and stear around corners.......plus when I need to back down I have brakes lol.....I use those v type chains that bite into the ice like ice picks.......reg chains just slide. plus the big block has some weight on the front tires lol.

 

[Sleeper700]

The biggest lesson I learned from sliding backwards was to put it in the ditch right away. Too much speed = expensive, and if it is a long way down, there is no way you are going to not hit the ditch at some point. A couple of years ago, I was lucky enough to ditch it slowly and not wreck anything. At the same time, the other truck was rocketing backward further down the hill, and when the trailer jackknifed, it caused some damage to the truck and trailer.

I would think that chaining the front would be the best idea if you only had 2 chains....

same advantage as a front wheel drive car...

Yeah, he planted the trailer in the ditch, but it didn't do much to limit the damage. Just kind of whipped us into a jack knife.
