The vogue thing in Maine these days is not salt but liquid calcium. I have to admit it seems to work well but it's been killing cars and trucks since they made the switch 5-10 years ago.

The state says there's no proof that it's any worse the salt but any mechanic you talk to will tell you that their main business is not replacing brake lines, fuel tanks and diff covers.

As far as your truck goes, Rockland is on the coast so it see less snow then even I do inland, about 25 miles away. Maine is really all over the place as far as snowfall goes. Western Maine gets a lot of snow due to the mountains, Northern Maine does as well but that's due to the temperature difference between it and the coast. Central Maine can get a lot of snow and the coast is a complete crap shoot.

We have chains for the back of our 98 3/4 ton Dodge. We've never used them but have only had them for a season. After getting stuck a few times last year we finally took the plunge...then it stopped snowing. Go figure. Weight is the key for us, keep the back end planted and you can move some snow.
