Using 4hi on steep driveway?

Awesome mod, probably my favorite.

 

Agreed this is strange, but maybe try putting some more weight in the bed? Sounds like you’re breaking traction, not lacking power. Is the concrete driveway slick?

 

If it’s a manual, second gear will not work up that hill 100%.

 

It's on my short list when I get ready to move out of where we're at. Maneuvering a trailer in reverse seems like it will be painful without it.

 

I think what’s happening is the TC is kicking in and cutting of the power to the rear wheels.

 

Yeh dunno, that's why I prefaced it with 'try'.

 

Try long press on the TC button before you get moving, I think TC is messing with you.

 

Very slick

 

2nd gear will work with a 2WD low mod though

 

My 200ft driveway is steeper than that and I don't have a problem. Except in snow its no go.

 

Is your truck a manual? If so then I could understand wanting to use 4lo to pull straight ahead a few feet to avoid slipping the clutch every time you leave your driveway.

If auto then...none of this makes any sense

 

Yep, if you tow anything with a MT taco, it’s a must IMHO.

 

I agree with everything you said.

 

Could just try to feather the throttle? Note the rpms if it works and keep that rpm when coming up.

 

So I have done feathering and it jerks a bit before giving out. I dont have a lot of space in the rear either so if it slips, I run into the garage

4lo with the locker engaged seems like the only option here

 

Auto

 

Need front locker as well.

 

Reverse is a low gear, ever try backing out?
