stuck on wet grass

How do you tell if your truck has a limited slip diff or an open diff? I noticed that both tires seemed like they had spun and not just one.

I have the transforce at. Fortunately i pulled it out with my 4x4 f150. But that truck is for sale so it wont be available to me forever. I am going to keep it till the weather starts warming. Im sure this is probably due to the lack of tread depth, but it makes me wonder if the transforce at may not be the right replacement tire for me.

Any other aggresive load rated e tire out there that wears well and gets good miles?

Do you have the transforce at or ht? If ht, then I think a more aggressive tire may be in order. The at is a pretty good balance of traction and low road noise, as I'm sure you know the more aggressive tread you get the more hum and less service life.

Also, if you don't have some sort of limited slip or locker that is a worthwhile upgrade. 2wd diesels are known for poor traction because they are so heavy in the front and relatively light in the rear when unloaded.

Lay out planks, or other traction pads? I keep a set of cable chains in both of my trucks, which go on quickly. Perhaps a farm tractor or 4x4 truck to hook up to front tow hooks if you are a distance from a hard surface. Good luck...

If you have "all season" tires, they're pretty worthless. You should have a more aggressive tire on the rear when only have two wheel drive.

Do you have another vehicle? If so, how close can it get to you and still stay on good ground with traction? If it's not too far, you probably don't need much of a tug to get moving again. Any combination of ropes, tow straps and chains will work to give you a gentle tug to get the truck moving.

Do you have a set of tire chains?
