back traction</P>

 

<font size="3"><span style="font-family: courier new,courier,mono;">I
have a 2000 silverado 4x4 and sometimes it feels like the rear end
slips. It makes a rubbing sound and then you feel some vibration
in the rear end. I think it might be the U joints but i thought i
would check first to see of anyone as encountered a similiar
problem. Thank you for your time.

use real snow tires for winter and put wieght (i use 6 concrete patio
stones, 400lbs)over rear axle. keep tirers at maximum pressure . don't
be afraid to drive with truck in d2 when in deep snow or
slush and if it is freezing rain stay home. all these suggestions have
gotten me through some tough winters up hear in ontario canada. good
luck!!!

 

in 2nd gear the truck can downshift back into first causing it to spin the tires and causing a wreck as for the diferential noise if u have a autolocker get it checked mine went out 3 times do to sensor failer when in deep snow just use the 4wd if it has the auto 4wd button this will work best

 

Not for nuthin', but my truck came with 410 gears stock from the factory. So I imagine others got something other than the normal, and probably expected, 373 or 342 rears. So if you lose traction going uphill, around the corner, in the rain or ice, now you know. More power, less mileage. Chevy 4EVER

 

i don't know what tire's you have but they make all the difference in the world .i had Firestone's on my 01 5800 hd new and i could get stuck on flat ground damp grass . for winter driving put two sand bag's behind they rear wheels . i now have cooper atr's and they made all the difference ! of cource i have a plow and 6 sand bags .
