Truck Spent the Night Up a Mountain

[swampdigger]

I got 'er stuck real bad the other night in the woods. Down a steep embankment, just about rolled it. Tire came off the rim, and the rim got buried deep. Took a fully locked 'yota, a day of digging, and we still broke the tow rope many times.

Best part: my brakes work awesome now, and although the steering wheel is 90* out as a result it tracks perfectly on the highway! I gotta do this more often!

Boy though, those 6.9s can get your front end sunk in a hurry. I gotta say, I was real worried about starting it after sitting on a steep angle all night. Had thoughts of the oil pooling into one of the cylinders. Had the hood popped and the shirt off my back ready to stuff into the intake.

Ha ha, may be you cleaned some glazing off the breaks now, way to break it in. my brother in law that i sold my old truck to had that happen with the steering. some lady pulled out on front of him and he hit her with a ton of steel in the back. the steering wheel is all out of whack but he says it tracks great now.

Your lucky man, i had to leave my 97 F-150 one nite in a mud hole, cause i burried it (one of those stupid things you do in college) and when i came back the next day, truck didnt steer right for a while, and had to clean the mud out for a couple days! after that i decided i will sit on the sidelines and watch all the other guys with trucks play in the mud, cause i know at the end of the nite, i will be driving my rig home!!
