A truck my dad taught me was after you get your center and inside link tight, put your hook in the very first link of your tail on the outside and just pull the ever living shit out of it towards you and the back of the truck it’ll take out all slack
@vankamfreightways yeah I like the new way they do it chain lights on when it's raining and the ticket matches the market value of a new set of triples pretty Wiley of them
Hi @dakotamoberly6630, sorry for the late reply, but that's a very valid question! We typically chain up the rear axle because that is the actual drive axle when the differentials are not locked in. The front drive axle is just along for the ride until you engage the inter-axle lock up. So if you only require 1 set of chains, you usually do not need to engage the axle lock up, so the one wheel on the rear axle is the one supplying power. Hopefully, that makes sense.
I feel sorry for this guy. He's panting like he's run a marathon at the halfway point. He trapped a link under the connecting link on the inner and middle rails. He has 'UGE gaposis where the chain comes together because the chain isn't sized properly for the tire. Driving 10 feet forward and back doesn't do 💩 for working the chain around the tire. It takes a block or more at a decent speed. The end result is sloppy.

Shouldn't you chain up the front axle?

Those square links are heavy as hell to be fair to him lol. They weigh about 120 pounds I throw them almost every day for work in oilfield driving
