Ice Block Explorer

The picture you so generously provided was not from a car that was running and was stopped from said accumulation.

I know a 92 explorer is a TTB, the statement made was a Dana straight axle was the plow.

Tho I don't have the snow and cold you have in Russia, I am no stranger to cold and snow here in the Pacific North West.

Russia??

You sir, have no sense of humor nor are you able to notice fine details, lulz. I'm on the Eastern seaboard of the States here.

Snow pack around a dana straight axle is no where near the same as a TTB, that is truly a plow.

i've looked over this thread from one end to the other...where is a dana straight axle mentioned?

It happens.

look at the flow patterns around these....the top one looks as it's been disturbed,but the bottom one was obviously moving forward when the snow built up.

the top one shows signs of being driven too,but it's not as obvious as the bottom.

snow is an excellent insulator,and sub-zero airflow through an engine compartment is great at removing surface heat.i've had a radiator freeze up while driving in -35 temps.it had antifreeze,but i guess it wasn't strong enough....even though the engine was at full operating temp.

Dude, it happens, get over it, you're wrong.

I guess since it hasn't happen to ashleyroachclip, she won't believe till it happens to her.

I've never seen it in person or had it happen to me in a small truck, but I believe it, all I have had is the Axles of my Big truck get packed with snow and ice.

Never had snow build up that bad but I guess it was one hell of a storm with the wind and all. I had my throttle cable frezze up on the way to work one day. Blew a head gasket and the steam/mositure frozze on the cable with the cruse on. Crested the hill on the interstate and saw I was doing 80. Had to stand on the brakes to get it down to 60, found a place to pull over, turn the key off and wait for help. Stuff happens - well it was -5 but steam is HOT.

I consider the TTB to be a bigger plow than a solid axle. That they are mostly flat compared to a tube with a ball somewhere in the middle is my reasoning.

Well today we having a nice all blizzard, so I get up early and take the wifey to work (26 miles 1 way) drop her off and head for home. Well on the home the finger drifts had started not a big deal. Well the time come to leave to go pick her up and it snowing harder and winds picked to 40 or so, so I go hit the hwy and finger drift are now a foot to sometime 3 feet deep and spanning both lanes. Well get wife and head for home and get 5 miles down road truck start acting funny no power, belt slipping and shit, so I just keep going kinda nursing it along. I just about get home now and try slowing wont slow down well it does just revs up, well shit throttle cables froze. I get home pop hood and hole engine bay is a giant ice cube cant even find the dip stick to check oil . I thought this was so funny I would share it

over here in watertown we got a solid 8 inches and my ranger started right up but getting around was another problem lol

"with the cruse on"
A real bad habit when temperatures drop close to 0 degrees or below.

First Time I Drove a Big Truck with Cruse Control, I learned really quick that it was scary to drive, I know some drivers that love CC in their Big Trucks, but I only like it in my little truck and wife's car.

I remember once I had to go to Main, and it was cold here in Tn., So I opened the water lines to the fuel tanks to help heat them and keep the fuel from gelling, It was so cold in Main that the engine ran under 100*F, and the fuel started to gel up, and I was about frozen in my cab, I pulled in to the truck stop and the Main State line and had to block up the grill with a piece or cardboard, to get the temp of my truck up, made my nice purdy Yellow Kenworth t800a look plum ugly.
