Its not actually pulling the lorry its just assisting with traction.

Would that be beef or lamb mince

Thats your opinion mate, but if the lorry had no traction to get moving from a standstill on that road under its own power even the slightest bit of traction from the scoob would have helped get it going, once moving there would be no need for the scoob anymore but it certainly helped it get going.

Iv been workin with these all week they wont move on ther own in the snow they just spin the wheels untill they get moveing lol the scoobs defo helping with traction lock the diffs and itll find the grip for you

lock the diffs

DCCD is definitely better in the snow and ice. If you have very little traction, then locking the centre diff really helps. Generally when there is low grip, being able to send more torque to the front makes a massive difference!

I only asked as the non DCCD scoobs have the 50/50 torque split available too, plus the diff is able to shift the torque to where the grip is.

The Auto DCCD is ok in the snow but locking the diffs give far more grip I find. Also classics are better in the snow as the ABS isn't as sensitive.

Let the debate begin.

They are fine in the snow, unless you have 235 tyres and no ground clearance.......oh well!

[Robertio]

Fitting half decent winter tyres will make much more difference than any diff tweaking. A standard '98 turbo can go WOT through 2nd in 6" of snow on Nokians, my only concern in snow is lack of ground clearance

[euan_r]

my 98 uk on 15" canadian snow tyres made of walnut shells is excellent, on par with leggacy which is fitted with 14s m+s all year round. i think ive broken the dccd on new car with the 18s which were truely awfull in the snow.
