norseman Posted December 11, 2022 Admin Share Posted December 11, 2022 Got back from the K Diamond K ranch Xmas party. It was a field trip into the house…. Chevy was stuck. Dodge was stuck. Back and forth. Blew the actuator out of the front axle on the Dodge.. What a mess. Tomorrow I will dig out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiflier Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 (edited) Crap, Norseman, your winter 's already been long enough as it is. But that's true for the Sasquatches, too, unless they booked it to the west side of I-5 and perhaps Gray's Harbor for the season. Lots of dangerous hidden obstacles for a biped under all that white stuff. Edited December 12, 2022 by hiflier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwakwe Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 I don't envy you Norseman but feel your pain. Came back from a difficult X country trip to a bum back-up heater and a dead well pump which took me 11 hrs to sort, finishing under lights hanging from trees, no snow though. How'd the front actuator blow? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd the front actuator blow? I got my wife pulled up to the front of the Dodge so I tried to go around her on the low-side. Cuz the well is on the high-side. The Dodge slid sideways like a battleship coming out of dry dock. So I got my wife spun around and started winching to her on the drive way. I locked it up and got out the traction boards. Somewhere in trying to claw onto the traction boards I heard a big BANG. I wasn't on the throttle hard but both front tires were spinning. So I swapped the boards to the rear as I was now 2WD and kept winching. The rear end held. And I finally got out using the winch and boards anchored by the Chevy.

bipedalist Posted December 12, 2022 BFF Patron Share Posted December 12, 2022 Wow, white Christmas x10, looks like an epic storm, hope you can fix up and dig out without further incident! Looks like quite a roof loading you've got there too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Selkirk Outfitters sort that or do you get to have the fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiiawiwb Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Lot of snow. Sorry to hear about the problems related to it. Nothing worse than being stuck during the winter as options are sometimes limited until the road gets cleared. Good luck getting things fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
