    You sure the tires are spinning? I know you got some rain over there last night, it's possible the back brakes have seized and just need to be broken loose

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Put in in 4 low and break them free. Probably just a little rust.

    did it freeze down there? so its the front wheels that don't have any movement? rear tires are spinning and kicking up dirt/gravel/pavement? what are your tires screeching on? Had my rear shoes freeze to the drum up here last year, if they are frozen try getting them wet to help thaw the ice to break them free.

    I had the same thing happen after washing the truck and having it sit till the next morning. Something with the brakes/wheels rusted up. I think it has something to do with the rear because it also happens to guys after launching a boat. I had to really give it gas till it broke free... made a hell of a noise. Now i make a habit of at least going around the block after washing... hasn't happened since.
