Wet roads and spin-out

Lock in the power divider before you start up the hill. You can switch it on while moving as long as you're not spinning on ice. Just be careful going down the other side with the engine brake on. It can cause you to fishtail leading to a jacknife if both axles lock up.

 

I'd probably lock the power divider but not the axles......

What kind of tread pattern are you using for drives..? Is this pass dirt?

 

Won't help much to lock in axle. Problem is you have too much dead weight and not an especially lot of weight on the drives.

Best thing you can do is insure that you have the heaviest nose on your truck and the lightest trailer is at the back of the train.

And to compound the situation... The steeper you climb, the less weight is on the drives to help them grip.

 

No worries unless you hit a dry patch....... That wouldn't be pretty.

Good luck..

 

Your problem is exaggerated but even if you could get all wheels to apply torque, at some point you will have insufficient traction to pull X weight up X% grade

This is the same reason we have mandatory chain laws in our more mountainous states in winter.

 

Mine will spin the tires (I use all postion tires in the summer) when mt especially if it hasn't rained in a while.... So yes I worry....

Feather the right foot baby!!!!

I gotta believe those tires are not helping you....... And you can run the power divider @ 55 . For a short time in the rain. I wouldn't worry about it around the corner if it's raining that hard your wheels will not have max traction . So it won't bind up...
