Ive also niticed the rear bumpstops need to be replaced, nuthing to do. As for the snow here in MD this year was AWSOME. Its great cause I didnt get stuck. I did use chains for a night and dam they were great. It was fun being the only truck out on the roads and still trucking along. I kicked it into 3rd and kept my foot to the floor for over 2 miles 1 time. I was trying to spin it out and must have had it at 4:00 slinging to 8:00 over and over at over 60MPH tracking strait down the highway. I love this truck.
