I too have been stuck in the sand...more than once. I have read that a couple clicks on the e-brake pedal will help lock up the rear end if it has the anti-spin differential. I have found that if you give a couple clicks on the e-brake and then put in reverse for a few seconds or feet ,depending how stuck you are, and then back in drive. It should be locked then. It has saved me a few times and I have the stock Michelin tires. Now I need to find out how to keep the truck from bucking in this situation. You do NOT want to be holding coffee when you do this

I coat my cigarettes in amsoil, they light faster and smoke longer! And gives it that synthetic blend taste. Good Stuff.

Oh almost forgot. 9 out of 10 oil change specialists reccomend amsoil for hemeroids as well, just remember a little bit goes a long way. You wont beleive how easily you slide on the seat when getting into your truck.

I really wish I would have know this that night. It would have really helped.

I was running the amsoil synthetic air for awhile but the local punks started sucking the air out to get high. Cops said I need to get locking valve stems or I could get busted for contributing.

If you install the amsoil ladder bars, the axle won't hop as much when getting out of the sand.

You too huh? When i wax my truck in amsoil the bird crap rolls right off. Bugs, no longer a problem. Hasta la vista bird crap, so long bug guts. And talk about shiny tires, hooooweeee.This stuff is great and reasonably priced as well.

I fed my dog Amsoil dog food before a duck hunt. You should have seen the water roll off his back. Perfect moment for a commercial.

My wife likes the wrinkled for her pleasure with the self heating amsoil additive. Boy talk about a quickie! That stuff heats up pretty fast you cant stand but so much.

You know, I started useing Amsoil instead of Hoppies No. 7 on all of my hand guns and rifles. Dirt doesn't collect, not too oily, it protects well and it doesn't transfer over to any clothing. Even started using it to fry my eggs instead of butter. Keeps my chloresteral levels down.

CrazyFloyd, if you are interested in Lockers, gears or a good Cummins guy. Go see Larry at CC Ring and Pinion, in Corpus. Shoot me a PM if you need more info.

There's a lot of hype going on about all this airing down stuff.

It's this simple: if you drive on Amsoil sand, you never get stuck.
