All I can say is this is going to be a short story, and I have to give props to ram owners because they were the only ones stoped to help people. As most of you herd texas is shut down because of 5 inches of snow.(I promis this has a towing point). We went to my parents this evening to play cards and hang out the wife and I were bored. On the way home roads were pretty awful about inch sold ice stuck to the road (my truck wasent even leaving any tracks) anyways we roll up to a truck and a car in off to the side of the road with flashers on. The truck was a 4th gen larmie and we rolled the window down to see if there was anything we could do and the truck said no that they were just houseing a family that was traveling to cheer competition the front wheel of the little car came off litterly fell off. I had a couple waters in the truck gave them to them and away we went. We rolled up on a truck (chevy) that was way down in a ditch and stuck there was a 4th gen ram 2500 hooked up to it and he had drug him about 50 ft in the ditch. So I got out to asses the situation first thing I knowticed is they had 2 straps together and had no angle to pull him out on and they were trying to pull him out backwards (I will never rag on a good samaritan but he lacked experience hopefully he learned a few tricks) so I got him flipped around and hooked to the front and I knowticed 2 things 1 he had a 2 inch strap and 2 it was hooked to the ball. I told them he was pretty far down there and he would probably brake that strap if he got any torque on it. So i grabbed my 4 in strap and got them hooked up (with the strap through the hitch pin) stood back and the guy took off to yank him and I jump back and ran out of the way, I though he was going to go slow and as soon as the strap went tight the ram almost got pulled into the ditch. I stopped him told him go 4low and just be easy with it. They stopped and the guy and the ram got out and said I don't have 4wd. at this point I was like I let me have a go. So I put all the tips and tricks I have learned her to good use I hook my straps up properly useing the hitch pin and not the hitch ball, took a shovel and made some track for him to follow spread some dry sand in the grooves and I clicked that bad boy into 4 low and as soon as the strap got tight it kicked the back end of truck over and just started pulling I walked him right out of the ditch with out even giving it hardly any throttle. I love 4lo it is really bad ass. Sorry for the long ass story but I'm like a giddy little school girl it's normally me who is having to get pulled out. I just had to share and let everyone know that ram owners were the only ones stopped at 11 pm at night on icey roads to help stranded motorist and that I got to put all the tips and tricks I have learned on this forum to good use. I wish I had pictures or a video but it was dark and I didn't want my prego wife getting out of the truck on the icey road when I first got out of my truck I went stright to the ground. This is the end of my story promis!
