No worries LOL! You are right though. With my CDL engaged, if I lift one wheel (front for rear) off the ground, my truck will act like it's going to pull through, but I will get about half a foot, and I will get awful grinding and ratcheting noises, and the truck will roll back to it's previous spot. So mine isn't fully engaged. I'm going to lube up the linkage and see if that helps.

Whats the term if you get hung up in a ditch with a front and a rear wheel off the ground? Axle twist or something?

Depends upon what part of the country you are in, back home they call that "dumb mudderfrucker" other areas they just call it stupid.

I was specifically referencing his situation. I know that that's not what would normally happen.

If I weren't so cheap, I'd get tru-tracs front and rear

I believe I could have three wheels off the ground and still drive around.
