rpss4844 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 So i got the idea i was going to try and pull some mobil home straps out of the ground with my truck and after a few snatches and all four wheels turning i came up un-successfull. Well later that same day one of my buddies decided he wanted to hook chains to my truck and see who could pull who. So after some coersion and peer pressure I decided to do it expecting the same outcome as before. Low and behold we start pulling and my back tires are spinning but not the front ones......why exactly is this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12'SROCK Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 because the rear axle gets more power than the front, dont remember what the percent ratio is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 isnt the rear a limited slip and the front an unlimited slip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big O Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I would guess it was a weight and leverage situation ... the rear didn't get the bite that the front did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004Denali Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 yes, but as soon as the back started slipping it will start transferring power to the front, up 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
