skydawg Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 1961 B61 w/ triplex trans...when backing out of my gravel driveway,my truck starts jumping and bucking,no matter what aux gear I`m in.Forward starts are smooth.Am I doing something wrong? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechohaulic Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I'd say your doing nothing wrong. combo of -1 - gravel surface =2- backing out your driveway , drive train is pulling the truck Not pushing . 3= tire tread possibly not helping++ street tread or bar/gripper tread (on dump). 4= driveway flat or slight incline adding to hop?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Mech is right.. Uphill with no weight on the drive axle... Will have to build a place to turn around at the bottom.. Also it WILL Be a lot SAFER pulling out onto the road!!!! 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
