Testing Amazon Snow Chains on my 2wd Silverado
Here's a link to the chains I bought. They're a little big for my tires (265/75/16) But if I ever get a different truck with bigger tires, they’ll still work

Ended up using this heater for one night of sleeping and it did great. At 23 degrees outside, this heater was plenty of heat on low to stay comfortably warm. Will provide updates in the future, www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRYLL51G?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Do you know that you have a Chevy Silverado pickup truck bed of a 14-17 on a 04 Chevy Silverado
@@Mike-ms8uq installed it myself
Day is 01/12/25 today is my first day trying to weld a broken bolt off the exhaust manifold on my engine, i try it earlier and i suck, the bolt didnt stay on the weld, now im watching alot of youtube and came across your video, you did better than me on your weld, im going to try it again, after i watch a few more videos
That’s a project I’ve been putting off. Hope you get it out 💪🏻
Put another cross link between each existing one and put a little weight in the box, you'll amaze yourself.
Not surprised, the real deals are usually better than their strap on alternatives so Ive been told😊
I've always wondered what the point of the snow chains was. I have a 2014 two-wheel drive Silverado and I totally understand the nervousness of driving in the winter. Do you run snow tires also or are these regular all season tires?
I usually run 3 peak snow tires not true snow tires. But I can’t remember if these are, I’ll look next time I’m out
@jeffdeshong I'm in St Louis and we don't get much snow so dedicated snow tires isn't worth it. I say this and we just got hammered with 10-12 inches. Our DOT couldn't keep up.
What if you also put some on the front? Would it make a difference with it being just RWD?
@@loggyboi2389 wouldn’t help you go forward. Would help with braking though, like going down a steep icy hill
@ Thank you, I wasn’t sure. I have a beefy SUV AWD/4WD with 31” mud tires so I don’t put chains on much, if any at all lol. I always keep them just in case though
I drove my 2wd f250 with a utility bed around yesterday and it did pretty good. Had some trouble at my buddies driveway. He lives down a long gravel road and it looked like only one person had been down it.
They get loose because your chais are too loose. Tighten the links then the cams.😅
You showed the effectiveness of some speed to get you up inclines. And put weight in the back of your truck !!!!!!!
Waght at the back of your truck bed by the tailgate, will give you some leveraged traction. You put the chains on the right way good job bud.
I’m a semi truck driver and use the same kind of chains. My helpful advice is to tighten them as much as possible then drive forward about 30 feet then backwards 30 feet. Try to get more links if you can. The. Take the special L shaped tool or sometimes it’s a T shaped look. To give you leverage on the cam locks and tighten as many as you can. Then put your bungy odds on. Kind of a process, but you don’t won’t the chains loose and slapping the assfault it will brake your chains and then start slapping your fender.
As a retired Alberta trucker and offroader you gave him the advice of experience.
assfault!? really? asphalt.
Great advice, but just in case someone is unsure I want to add this for clarity: The tightening should first be done by shortening the chain at the main end hooks. After getting the chains reasonably snug in this fashion, only then should you start turning the cams to get the chains good and tight. If you can turn the last cam easily with no tool, then the chains aren't really tight enough.
I like that model of truck....made in an era before most trucks started to get built stupid. Sounds like the power steering pump is starting to give trouble, but that can be fixed.
Just waiting for it to break. Don’t feel like changing it in the cold 😂
NOW
I usually just put my truck in 4wd
Man you’re so cool 👍🏻
@jeffdeshong i do have chains though for when when they are required to go through the pass
@@BigBlockSeason there are definitely times when you need chains even for 4wd
Put some weight in the back,over the axle and let a little air out of the tires. Will help alot.
Correct
A rear locker 2WD and tire chains will get you through a lot of low traction situations.
My 06 is too Minted to put Cains on it If they come loose they will cause a lot of Damage
I like your truck Jeff!
Thank you!
Your tires didn't look that good of shape?
Studded chains are best!
Studded snow tires and 6-8 sand bags is a better option than chains of you're planning on highway travel.
Even in a 1/2 ton 4x4 I have 7 60 lb sand bags in a big tote in the front of the bed. It makes a huge difference. Our driveway slopes uphill and it’s covered with wet ice and I went right up it this am.
Better to have the weight as far towards the rear of the truck as possible. @@Chris_at_Home
@ no, you don’t want to put it behind the rear axle. I have a short bed to the front of the bed from the rear axle isn’t far.
I was worried for a minute there when you were spinning but thats really how to use chains. The chains work together with the driver. The only thing I hate about chains is you get out on the highway and its completely cleared of snow. You end up having to go <30MPH. I once got caught in a blizzard with a rear wheel drive sedan. I couldn't make it up that last hill to my home. I had chains in the trunk. I ended up pulling into one of those self-serve car washes where I was relatively sheltered, flat surface, and off the berm. Worked out nice.
Admire your discipline on that project. Damn !
Jeff my friend, I do not miss those days, I remember when I used to live in Eastern P.A. in Hazelton, and I had a beautiful 68 Chevy 3 on the tree inline 6 Cylinder P/U also 2W/D those chains are a lifesaver, be safe out there brother. Happy new years
👍👍good info!
Really nice. It encourages me to try the same at my house. Don't worry about the haters. Looks nice to me.... Better than I could do for sure!
Anyone knows how to modify the seats for more leg room
I’m driving a 2wd crew cab hd and it does good but I put weight over the axle. Did you put a winch on your hd?
Yes I have a video of it
@@tri5garage544 yes it’s great to put some weight in the rear in any truck especially a half ton they are to light. I have 4x4 and still have sand bags and a bed full of wood and a full tool box. I only need 4x4 towing up a hill or in deep snow or ice.
VERY CREATIVE BRO! GOOD JOB!!
Add some weight in the rear like 400- 500 lbs in the bed
I agree. I think it would make your experience much more positive
Not the point of the video
@@jeffdeshong Just adding my 2 cents, it will help a lot, might not even need those chains especially in gravel. You could also air your tires down.
@@JimFinlayson Definitely helps a lot. My drive way is steep. We just got around 9-10inches of snow a couple days ago and about to get 3-4 more inches
I'm from central il. That's what I done. It makes a world of difference
Hey Jeff. Have you ever had people lose control and end up in your front yard?
Not really. People who drive this road go very slow… with some exceptions of course.
them ol chevys when you spin back up it will lock in both
Yup that’s the G80 locker
Excellent work
👍🏻
Nice job, inspiring… I don’t think I will do this, I have to do a 60’x60’ pad..!
Seems like you’re pushing the application of that wide spray. Its air sealant, not insulation. Really appreciate the video since this is so new! Have you thought about cut and cobbling? Like Cutting rigid foam board to take up the most of the middle section and then spraying around the edges to lock it in place and air seal the edges? Probably would have been cheaper and would have more r value
You should drill 1/2 inch on the inside boards and that way you don't have to drill them later they will join your section beter so they dont get out of line you know
Don't care what anyone says...you done a good job!
Much appreciated 👍🏻
Thanks for your videos and absolutely ignore the negative comments. I commend you on completing this on your own and for wanting to learn by trial and error, which is the best way to learn anything. Mistakes happen and they all can't be lucky or happy accidents. People that criticize you in every negative way are just ass holes and full of hate in general. They're the ones that will criticize you even if you do a perfect job. It makes them feel smarter in their own minds. They dont know how to give positive critiques and opinions. Anyways, keep on keeping on. Lifes a garden. Make it work for ya!! 👍
I've been scrolling through comments and haven't seen the answer to my question. what are you using to screed the concrete? I see 2 man crews using a 2x4, but it looks like you have something metal? I'm curious if it has weight to make it easier for you to level your concrete. you're videos have answered many of our questions about pouring a large pad in sections.

Sub'd. Good job Jeff!!! Just found your channel. Keep up the good work!
@@Dying2Live220 thank you!!
Wouldnt it be better with just QuickCrete
Nicely Done Jeff, Very Nicely Done !!! Those so called "professionals" who flammed you are just keyboard warriors that couldn't pour themselves a drink, much less a slab. "A lion does not concern itselff with the opinion of sheep". It's a shed not a floor for the Queen of England, who cares about minor imperfections when you save yourself 30-60K or more. I will tune in for the rest and you motivated me to do a small patio myself. Nicely Done Brother, Very Nicely Done !!! Thanks much for your video!
Did you ever figure out how to do it the correct way without using the reverse aftermakets?
Excellent job my friend...Subscribed!
I had totally forgotten about glass block walls and was curious about installing them and this video quenched my thirst of knowledge! Great work brother!
Subscribed just because I apreaciate all the honesty in this video !! Loved hearing the mistakes , most TH-camrs won’t talk about those .
Hell yes brother
Subscribing just to support a hardworking dude. I am so impressed, after seeing the first wheelbarrow load in the first video i knew you would not be able to finish the job. You proved me so wrong!
Great playlist of video. Well done Kid. Keep it going 👍
Thank you!
