Hey guy sorry been crazy busy with work since its summer, I work on the beach and Hurricane Sandy destroyed everything. But with that being said I am having and odd problem i noticed yesterday. Ill try to explain it the best i can.
98 Chevy Tahoe 2dr. 5.7 NP246 Push button 4x4 switch 4L60E transmission.
I work on the beach all day and use my personal truck most of the time. Truck is running on 285/65 R16 DC MUD Countries. On the beach I bring them down to about 10-15 pounds no problem.
Driving on the sand is no problem at all. I have climbed over hills, super lose sand, wet sand whatever it doesnt even hesitate. Stopped on beach yesterday went to back up in 4 wheel HI and rear tires just DUG into ground. Put it in drive and pull myself out no problem. Only problem was i was parked to close to something in front of me so i could go forward. Put it back in reverse same thing rear tires just dug in front tires didnt even move. Put the truck in neutral switched to 4 Wheel LO pulled forward no problem, put in reverse and backed up no problem and right out.
Now my question here is why ? Is there something with the way the front end locks or do i have a problem. why does it 4x4 in reverse only work in Low. Everything drivetrain wise is still stock. What am i missing here and i have a feeling its very stupid answer.
Thanks for your help once again and as soon as the summer ends I will post some pics of mods i hope to complete. Just finished off my doubledin swap and the 05 console swap. Just gotta button some things up
