400 torque question

how much torque would you think it would take to turn a set of TSL Super Swampers 33x10.5x16.5.... I've finally got this motor running after getting rid of some cob webs.... at a stop sign, while turning, I dropped the clutch out of second (NP435) and I could feel the back tires wanting to hop... I'm trying to get an idea of where my motor is at in a round about way.... without tearing it apart..... which you have to replace stuff if you pull the motor, right

Sounds like the rear isn't getting enough traction.

coondawg you are definitely right, I guess I wasn't thinking, cause this truck has a homemade wood flatbed with 2 & 4x4's and plywood.... definitely not much weight back there

You might can do some work to the suspension rather than add weight. Adding weight is cheap and easy but it also affects fuel milage.

400 torque question

This only happened when I tromped on it while turning a corner, so it's not a normal occurence... plus, once I get the all the other systems buttoned up on her, I'll be replacing the wood bed or at least modifying..... thanks for your insight
