    go back and get the 4 wheel drive version.
    if you pay the difference i will
    plus doesnt the 4wd really only add more weight to the front?

    Ill just get some sandbags and then start a thread about how they only lasted 7 hours here in houston before getting stolen.

    2 (Second)
    Use 2 (Second) gear to start-up on
    slippery roads or to provide
    additional engine braking on

    downgrades.
    Idk if this means to keep driving in slippery roads, but like I said thats what my truck manual says and it seems to work.

    Although, you have a different truck than me, it may be something to look into...otherwise you may just have to get used to it...good luck with it

    seems i was talking out of my ass mr. regulator...

    after reading up on the subject, as i too am a victim of a rear wheel drive that likes to hydroplane in the rain, seems more weight is the obvious and correct answer to your problems...good luck with the sand bags and let us know if that works...if not, get some michelin hydro edge tires and then report back!

    doubt i'll get new tires as money is tight. biggest reason why i would be hesitant to try taht water bag system out. I figure no one will be able to lift up a few hundred pounds of water. I guarantee sandbags will get stolen, for some unknown reason.
    I keep short ties of rope hooked up to all 4 points in the bed and often times come out to my truck to see them pulled out as if someone was going to try to take them and then got scared off.

    Could I put the sandbags in my toolbox or would that not be far enough back. Other place I would do it would be to put a piece of 2/6 in those slots towards the back and stick them in that sectioned off 18" to try to keep them from sliding around.

    Sweet.....a camel back for trucks.

    I noticed this with a truck I bought used a long time ago....it didn't have a spare. Made a big difference when I put one in.
