So I have a 1996 Tahoe with a set of 33" Pro-Comp Xterains. I took it out to little moab for the first time today to see how it went off road (I have also owned and modified a 1972 Blazer and 1987 Chev half ton) and boy was I disipointed. Something must be wrong and maybe some here has an idea. When I am using 4 low to come down or up a steep hill the rear end "slips". Now this is not a losing traction type of slip. This is a very strange slip in that the rear end (especially when comming down a hill) seems to "hop" almost as though you were pumping the brakes or something? I don't know if I can explain it better then that. Could a bad chain in the T-case cause this? Almost seems like they are out of sync? I remember in my 87 chev being able to crawl down these same hills (with the same tires) in first gear in 4 low with no problems. Several times the rear of the truck wants to slide out from under me and I have to shift up and give it some gas. Is the Tahoe just junk off road? THANKS!
