Subject: Re: DML: Re: Question for snow plowers, 4wd in snow...
Nope, same tires as before. The wheels don't seem to be spinning
either - in 4lo with a little gas they will start to spin immediately,
but in 4hi, they just bite in and the truck plows through with little
to no wheelspin.
This looks like the time to weigh in on this thread.
If I understand the question, it's why do the tires break loose easier in LO
range than they do in HI range on moderately slippery surfaces?
Using 3.92 as an example for the differential ratio, and 2.72 as the
transfer case ratio, the final ratio at the wheels would be 10.66.
Which would be easier to spin the tires on a 2wd vehicle; one with a 3.92
differential ratio or one with 10.66?
