So you'll do much better than them with different tires.

I think you mean an "open" differential.

Leeann: I hear ya--I'm considering selling mine soon as well. I'll be heading to either UVA, Umich, or U of Southern California for grad school in august, more than likely. If I end up choosing UVA or Umich, those places have way too much snow for me to be comfortable in driving my truck.
either it'll have to go or I'll have to put it in storage/garage for several months each cold season and purchase another auto.
I think alot of us get in an "enthusiasm slump" when winter time rolls around because the performance-aspect of our cars/trucks/etc are worthless. all we care about is surviving trips to work/school/etc and back..... once the snow melts and the tracks reopen, the fire will be rekindled.

IMHO, anyone who wont drive in the snow for an other reasons then preservation, has never really driven in the snow! A SVTL is a truck, an if you drive it like one, the snow will have no effect on you. Slow the hell down and you'll be fine, as long as you don't stop on a hill with a SVTL you'll be alright in the snow. I am in WI, nothing but snow everywhere, and guess what, just like every Mustang I have owned saince I was 15, the only thing the winter snow will do is slow you down, don't drive like a jack *** and you'll be fine.
jmo as a Wisconsin driver..
ps. any one who thinks you can pass everyone out thier on the roads because you have 4X4, no this... 4 wheel drive is not going to keep you out of the ditch, but it will help you get out. Slow down in the snow and ice, you'll be fine!
I know my profile says I am in NC, but the is just where I am stationed at. I am in the Marine Corps, but I am from WI.

HI!... Well my truck has seen every winter for the last 6 years and I have zero rust on my truck. Windsor is also the SALT capital of CANADA! lol! Here's a little vid of me and some of the local guys playing in the sno. Mines the white F-150 with the 3" CERVINI's cowl hood. All I can say is 425H.P (N/A), 3000 P.I stall, 4.10 gears and 305 NITTO's are fun in the snow! LOL!
