Worlds stongest bush?

[Jr_454]

So I was pulling some bushes out of my yard last night and some of them actually stopped the truck from moving. As in I had to actually rock the truck in reverse to get them out. I have the 5.3 with AWD and it was almost ridiculus. It would hit about 1900 RPMs and just stop. The tires would spin a little and then the awd and locker kicked in and the truck would just not move. I just sat there sounding like a really big fan. And yes i took off the T/C. So any way just a thought to see if I was the only one or if others had the same thing happen.

that's torque management for you!

When I read this I thought about the time I had to pull my daily driver home all the way across down with a tow rope. It was like pulling a hot wheels car behind my truck....that must have been a strong ass weed.

It was bad felt like the truck had no power. I do pull a boat, and it has no problems with that. Just no power when trying to pull the bush out in reverse.

I have pulled some big bushes out and didnt have any problems. But 4 wheel low helps. Did have some trouble trying to pull a tree out though. Were you on grass trying to do this?

Why were you doing it in reverse anyways?

Lower gear. Thats what I Do. I Put a couple straps on the tow hooks and throw it in R in 4 hi. If its a deep rut or log it goes in Low. No trouble, Now I dont have stabilitrak which I read you cant turn that off 100%. So that may have been the difference. Or the fact im using a true 4x4 and you have AWD.

I dont know I could have put it in 4 low but didnt think I should have had to do that. I was on grass the tires wouldnt even spin. Well they turned once or twice then the locker kicked in and that was it. I was just like the truck would not get the rpm's up maybe it was the "abuse mode " kicking in. if that even happens in reverse.

It might not seem like you need it, but shit man if you have the option and nothing else is working, I say why not? Even my sister in law's cummins has trouble sometimes...at her old place the barn was downhill from the house, and when we were loading the hay onto the trailer to move it out, she had to put it in 4 low to get that ***** up the hill. Sometimes you just need the extra torque, no shame in using it.

remember in the old days when there wasnt a computer helping you drive.

Heh, yeah...thats what a black bear tune is for....getting rid of that pesky torque management issue that plagues us all.

Yea some day i might have enought saved up until then i guess ill just have to make due. next time ill just gett a longer rope and let her buck.
