Hi All, I had my DMAX 2500HD/Allison/G80 up to a ski area which was flat but had a couple of inches of packed snow on it. I got stuck on this flat ground! I pushed the accelerator to try and get the other wheel to lock up but I never felt any difference and the truck never gained traction. I ended up having some people give me a push to get going. I should have asked them if both wheels were spinning but I didn't think of it. Could my differential not be working correctly? How could I test this out? Thanks.

I'd power brake it on dry pavement once. If it leaves two black marks, you are fine.

On snow and ice if the tire spins to fast the gov loc will not lock the axle.
