This happens in 4wd ?
I can see it happening in 2wd but all winter I could easily accelerate from a stop with 4wd on. 1 or 2 wheels would break loose but it would take all 4 to derate the engine. This must be a tire issue.
Awesome! My 95 Sr is a beast in the snow too. I have 33s bfg a/ts. And this thing drives as if there is no snow.My '97 SR does not have traction control. However... it is an absolute wild beastly animal in the snow. We had a snow storm this year in Raleigh that the news called "Snowmageddon" (keeping in mind this is North Carolina...) - we had something like 6-8" of snow in a day, which around here was crippling - hundreds and hundreds of cars were stranded and abandoned on the roads and highways, the State Governor was going out on the news asking people to get their cars off the roads so that emergency vehicles could get through, etc... it was like a Zombie apocalypse in the snow.
I spent about 9 hours that day driving around town in my Montero, in 4-High (unlocked center diff), with BFG All Terrain's, with bag of recovery tools and a friend in the truck, pulling people out of the snow, ditches, etc, towing them up hills so they could get home, and so on. They kept asking "How come you're able to drive around in this like it's nothing, and everyone else is stuck hard?"
Unstoppable in the snow. Very controllable. Totally awesome.
But of course, anyone who lives in a place where there is REAL snow already knows that. These are great trucks.
