Looks like I will need to drive my F550 back from Olympia Washington This Dec.
seems I5 is the flattest route but I believe there are a couple mountain passes.
Any suggestions from those that have made the trip in the dead of winter?
If chains are required do they go on all 4 dually drive wheels or are the 2 outside good?
Checking weather is a given.
I carry 50 gallons of diesel and plan to top off before heading up any pass just in case I need to pull over and keep the truck running for heat.
Hoping for mild weather for a few day window. 22 hr drive broken into 2 days is the plan.
thanks for any input.

If you are just taking the truck south, wait for the warmer weather window and go. You must carry chains. As someone said, get them at Les Schwab. You only need 1 set for the outside tires on the rear.
