    I think this might be the problem. Will try it next week. Thanks!

    We've all had to learn the manual tranny, you'll get used to it and not think about it eventually. Most I should say

    Yeah, this is a case where you'd push the "skidding tires" button ONCE to engage the "Auto-LSD" function.

    there's an old thread out there that does a great job explaining all
    of the tracton/LSD switches/option combinations... but I'm
    searching and I can't seem to find it. if anyone remembers it or has easy access, would you be so kind as to post a link? this thread has me thinking I could use a refresher.

    My sister has a 2010 5 lug, its an auto but when I press the trac off it pops up auto lsd. It seems to help a lot if you're going to spin. My truck is a 5spd, I tend to ride the clutch when I'm in gravel. Don't want to spin up my uncles drive way. I rev up and slowely let out on the clutch while reviing below 2k.

    if that does not work, hold the button down for 5 seconds. that kills all traction control. I find I need that when driving my truck in sand.
