I was almost thinking about getting a newer truck for more comfort but I see now that I need to preserve my 76 as long as possible. I don't have the patience for a computer that doesn't know what it's doing. I'm sure there is a way to disable it and make it work like a normal truck. The younger generation will never know how a real truck is supposed to work. Gotta love the old heavy chevys.

Definitely that truck has traction control and it must be disengaged if you need the full power required to spin all 4 wheels. TC is a safety thing to prevent a spin-out if you were climbing a grade under icy conditions and is the electronic equivalent to putting a wood block under the gas pedal..
