Re: Locked Up and Sideways
That's a pretty common characteristic of these trucks. There just isn't any weight over the rear axle to hold it on the ground under severe braking. I've seen a few do a 180 on the freeway when traffic in front stopped, and the rear end didn't. Pulling to the right is a different problem. Fishtailing under extreme braking will always be there unless a lot of weight is added to the bed.
Mine stops straight - now, because it has a bed cover, plywood & aluminum bed floor, spare tire, tools, a shade tent, chairs, and about 300 pounds of fuel/tank behind the rear axle. Not so good for gas mileage, but it sure inspires confidence in braking.
