Op here, thanks for the replys.
The last time stuck and I didn't pull it out with class C, I tried to put more thought into it. I usually let out some air and see if that works and say OH Well and drag a chain out and pull out with class C.
However last time stuck I jacked up right side to get the axle tube even and straight across tire to tire, not one side lower than the other side. That helped.
Short answers to questions:
“When you get stuck do both wheels spin or just one?”
Right side that is the down hill spins a lot, left side that is uphill not so much, very little.
“Sounds like your on wet grass or dirt.”
Yes and the wetter it is the worse.
“Try airing down the rear tires on the Dodge and see how that works!”
Tried it and doesn’t seem to help.
(get a) “four wheel drive”
I should...Last 4 wheel drive I had the hub keep falling off, 1984 Ford, had to check every 5,000 miles to make sure those washer things with the tang that fits onto grove hasn’t backed out. Now that 4 wheel hubs are better I would go back. I don’t hear any bad news about newer 4 wheel drives.
“Call Randy's ring pinion for more info.”
WOW, your location says So Cal how did you know? They come highly recommended by several people I’ve talked with. They must be good they are talking about a 3 or4 day turn around after I get on the bottom of list calendar. So they have a waiting list. That’s an indication of a good shop IMO.
"not friendly on streets especially when going around corners"
Does it make noise or jerking feeling. Why not friendly?
