Default Re: Posi rear problems in the snow

I have seen this topic argued so many times on my truck forum, that it kills me. Since this is the first time I have seen it here, I will say my opinion.

Yes having both wheels spin on ice, snow, or rain will make the car do crazy stuff, mainly not track straight. Yes the open rear will tracks a straighter path with only the one tire spinning. Both of these above items apply to drivers with an inability to learn the machine being operated.

I have had numerous experiences with 4x4 vehicles and still own or operate 3 of them. Two of them have a locker/or posi of some sorts and one has an open differential. The two with a posi/locker are mean animals in the snow. The open diff vehicle is a wuss in 2wd.

There is nothing more aggravating then being stuck, only to get out of the vehicle and find that some of the tires of a 4x4 are unobstructed and should have the vehicle moving, if that tire would spin.

Personally, with the way our winters can be (although not lately), I want all 4 spinning hence the 4X4, I will gladly deal with any drivability issues.
