Snow Plowing HEAVY Snow...Pic heavy for your enjoyment

That's a hard workin' truck! Y'all cheese heads and badgers can keep the white stuff though....
I really don't want to live where 4wd is mandatory most of the year!

It's about time we saw that axle swap and huge spring pack do some work

 

[PlayingWithTBI]

Looks like you were having fun It's nice to see it back at work with a good rear end

 

[618 Syndicate]

Nope.

The snow bulldozer that doubles as a stump puller in the summer! I like it!

 

[618 Syndicate]

Nope.

Don't get me wrong, the pictures are awesome, but nope.

Do I see two ammeters on the dash, right side?

Are you using dual alternators to power that Christmas Tree of a snowplow? My God, ample lights front and back…. the way it should be!

I got you 618

That snow was some of the harder stuff I've had to move in a while. I've been ignoring drifts for a few weeks then I got about 8" of wet snow on top of that. The truck did good but a full spool in the rear end would have been nice

Yea, two alternators and two batteries. The ammeters are handy to monitor each alternators health. I had one die a few years ago and didnt realize it until the other one died the next year.

Actually I have a question for you radio guys, those lights are just cheap ebay lights and when I turn them on the radio goes to static. Is there any way to fix that without getting new lights?

Are they simply incandescent lights, or LEDs?

If you disable the alternators, with lights on, does the noise abate?

If you power the radio from a isolated power source (like an ATV battery) does the noise abate?

LED's I can try disabling the alternators but the radio is fine when I am angling or lifting the plow which draws a ton more power than the lights. Also I have an electric radiator fan which doesnt effect the radio, its only the lights.
