Wet roads and spin-out

That's a spin out..

You have to worry . It's your job.

 

Ozdriver,how often do you have this problem?

 

@Ozdriver , just lock it up as you start up. Power dividers are actually stronger locked in than unlocked. And it'll be way harder to spin out 2 tires at once, compared just the one it takes when unlocked. You're actually doing more damage to the power divider by spinning that one wheel than you'll ever do running it down the road locked. I've spent hours and hours at highways speeds locked in, it won't hurt a thing.

 

That's what your power divider is for man.
Lock that thing in. !

If I was pulling that kinda weight going that slow I'd have it locked in regardless.
And you can go around corners just fine with interlock engaged .

I've run virtually the whole winter with the power divider locked-in and often in the summer in the wet--especially when pulling Super-Bs (63,500 kg / 140,000 lbs), or an OS/OD load that I can't get all the weight I'd like on the drives.

 

^^^^This^^^^^^

Oh. And Pics or it didn't happen!

 

Oz, @Cat sdp told you right. Like @Hammer166 said, lock in your power divider on flat ground. Cat said to feather the throttle. You are thinking that he is talking about not applying full power. He isn't. I will rephrase it. You need to run high rpms to avoid spinning. If the engine lugs down lower than 1400, downshift. Whatever speed you can hit that curve at the bottom, be in the gear that will turn 1600-1700 rpm. As soon as rpms drops to 1400, downshift. If it's real slick, you may want to consider running the trailers uphill one at a time.

Chains would be great.
