Wheel spin, all the time!
Friend has a 2009 F-250 crew cab with diesal. If he is towing his boat and gives it half throttle, it'll spin the rear tires. He says he has the weight forward on the hitch. He says it does it even when he's not towing anything.
Anyone else run into this lack of traction?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but Friday he took me for a ride in it and I hung out the window and watched it light the tires up. They said when they were just cruising around the hills in Missouri looking at property the roads were wet and and it'd spin all the time as soon as they started up a hill

My CC diesel does it all the time if it is wet out...ON BLACKTOP only tho....on concrete it's okay. Blacktop has a thin film of oil and when it's wet, an UNLOADED pick-up is dangerous!
You need some weight in there to help it. Power to weight ratio is very high!
