Ok so i have a long drive way, and is up hill... Working on getting up it today in the snow took about 10 runs! Ok, my problem is, it seems when i'm on my way up, if i try to give it too much power the truck starts to jump and hop and try to buck like a wild bull... I thought well maybe it's ridiculous wheel hop all the way around... which it still could be, but it would give me a bad bounc all the way up the hill and once it wouldn't go up anymore it would keep bouncing... If i stopped the tires from spinning and then attempted to go again, it would spin the appropriate tires, but becuase of the ice it would just sit there and spin, WITHOUT HOPPING!?

Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

sounds like death wobble to me.

probably need a new trac bar.

 

Sounds like maybe it was just digging in and get traction,then breaking loose, then getting traction, etc...

 

I had that experience when I was stuck in the mud. Felt like where the bed and cab are was the flex point.

 

Definitely sounds like wheel hop to me.

 

it is the truck getting and breaking traction, no problem

 

Your truck is no good. It is going through a melt down, and has become very unstable. It must be disposed of by properly trained individuals with the right hazardous material equipment for your exact situation. I am so trained and have said gear. Please send me your address and sign and notarize the title and I will come and pick it up from you post haste.

ok ok... I lied... I'm sorry... It sounds to me like you need to regrade your driveway... That's all...

I had that exact same thing happen today. As soon as I let off the gas, it was fine.

I don't see how you could be having any problems in the snow, though. I've been racing around in 2WD the whole time so far in about 2 feet of snow, and have only gotten stuck once.

Then again, I have 500 #'s in the back. LOL!

 

LOL, ya, the trac bar is new as of 1000km's ago... i think you all are right, wheel hop... I think i need a snow plow for my truck, or a snow blower for my tractor... HAHAHA... we have 3-4feet of snow in the driveway and it's up hill... errrr.. ahh well... thanks again for the help all...
