Loss of traction at speeds of 40-65...

When it rains the oil and other products from exhaust that is in or on the surface of the road rises to the top and causes slick conditions. Causes? Look around next time and see where the heavy traffic is coming from. If there is none it's a mystery.

 

Turn off the cruise control?

 

Yeah, i'd be running 70.

What kind of truck is this, and how old? My 2015 has excellent traction control and this has never happened to me no matter the load and with different tires. I guess next some old timers are going to start in on how bad technology is.

 

Regular singles or super singles?

 

Ok it’s the truck, actually I will blame the electronically controlled throttle
Hope this makes you happy, by the way I will be right with you on the speed unless it’s a real rainstorm.

 

That stuff in Texas is bad.
They put oil or something on the blacktop and it's like driving on ice.
Strong winds and rain will make you pay attention.
Just dial it back and you'll be fine

 

Now that you mentioned it, I would, oftentimes, see signs that read “fresh oil” on some highways in Texas. I always wondered (and rejected the obvious) what those signs meant.

Texas allows some outright dangerous stuff. The oiling of roads and how the interstates off ramps allow for vehicles to exit the interstate without stopping (the service road will have the stop sign). This allows trucks and cars to exit and cross over the oncoming lane of the service road at near highway speeds. Everywhere else the vehicle leaving the interstate will come to a stop, or at the very least will merge if the service road is one way.

 

In Texas we do things right!

 

Stop importing Californians. They get mad and then move to Tennessee.

 

Sounds like it could be the DEF system
