Default Holy axle wrap!!!

This morning was the 1st time I've had the new truck in deep snow.

Once the rear wheels start spinning, HOLY SMOKES. My'83 f150 doesnt even do that!

I knew it was a problem as i had read about it on here but i guess i never understood just how bad it was!

Just venting a little.....I guess.....

Tire spinning = loss of traction, not axle wrap

What you felt was your traction control working.

Yup, Hopping like a bunny.. Sorry, i sometimes use the terms interchangeable.


TC/AT was turned off.

Buster, You are brilliant.



Probably just not used to a P/U again as I've been driving a Yukon for a few years now. Lack of weight on the rear axle certainly makes the problem worse.

Disables all traction control then complains about traction issues.
