    i have a few opinions on this topic. one is the limited slip diff.i think this is actually part of the problem with the rear sliding and the front pushing.normally when one wheel is spinning the other is helping to keep the the rear from sliding.in our case the diff kicks in and causes the rear to slide because both wheels are spinning.
    the same holds true for the pushing.when both rear wheels are turning they tend to push the front wheels.when you are not in the snow and you turn the wheels turn at different speeds, when they are spinning in the snow they are working like a locked diff and push the front wheels.like when you are in 4 lo on dry pavement.
    also i think the short wheelbase does not help matters.i think that a combination of all these things cause the problems some a having.i have just learned to deal with it and compensate for it.and i found that not using power mode helps and using winter mode helps also.and if the conditions get to bad i use 4 lo . just my 2 cents. shawn

    I agree with Shawn,
    That tight rear diff tends to act like a locked unit very quickly = bad on ice, for the reasons that he mentioned.
    Again, it just requires a little relearning on my part.


    Maugan VX-
    I have only been a member of this board for a short time, but your posts have already gotten my attention. I took the liberty of researching your history, and I found very few helpful/informative posts -most were inflammatory and unnecessary. I'm afraid that we can't all be as perfect as you claim to be, and I believe that you should re-think the manner in which you choose to "share your knowledge". If I were a moderator of this site, not only would you have been warned/suspended/banned by now, I would've sent thugs to your home to steal your vehicle.
    Don't bother replying to this post, I've officially put you on my "useless ******" list.
