Here's a newbie question:
If You're in 4L and you're going up a hill - and it is covered in 12" of snow - and the hill starts getting steeper and steeper - so the Jeep is going slower and slower - and then it keeps getting steeper (Now it's at about 20% grade for the last kick)--> Is there a point you should just take your foot off the gas and retreat - or is it ok to keep the gas down until the Jeep just won't move anymore even with the pedal down in 4L, cuz you are almost near the top and just want to try and make it?
This happened to me today - a hill I've made it up before without snow - but just couldn't do it today with the snow - but the engine just didn't sound healthy near the end..
