so i got stuck going up hill, slightly steep....well i got stuck hit the gas a few times and eventually dug my self a nice little tire hole, but what i noticed was the trucks rear tires were not even spinning when i was hitting the gas? they kinda just jolted abit and that was it, just zero spin . I had 4x4 on, i even tried going in 4x4 low. anyone know why that was doing that? traction was also off. I'm not sure if im missing something or what ! but it was the first time i got stuck but just didnt seem right on why i was getting stuck so easy... please chime in on this! thanks.

Not enough throttle?

How did your tires dig a hole without spinning?

they spun to dig the hole, but once they made the hole they no longer spun? i had to reverse out back and fourth...my neighbor said he can hear me hammering on my truck but seen my rear tires just jolting a bit. he was confused and confronted me on why it was doing that lol. they were not moving.

Probably traction control kicking in. I believe it'll turn itself back on when your wheel speed is a certain rpm. Also what year is your truck? And do you have the auto transfer case?

I don't know much about it, but could there be a problem with the LS clutch packs? Seems kinda improbable being a 2015, but who knows.

Weird. My first guess was tc (check)

Second- wheels dont get much power to them in 4x4 if at full lock... I'm sure they were being turned all over the place though. (Check)

Following though.
