Big noise from the back wheel when it skids on ice road! Help

Hey guys, I heard today, a few times, the big noise coming from the back of the truck ( the back wheels I guess) whenever the back tires lost traction on ice road! In fact, I done a few times just to check and everytime it sound like pretty bad... Is it normal?? Since it is my first truck, I am not sure if this is common, but I sure never heard this before in cars.
Thanks for the imput!

David,

Relax, that's what it's supposed to do!

I was extremely impressed with the ABLS, I purposely put it on ice and walked it away every time.

I tried to move a GM Pickup with an open rear, and it spun like crazy on the smallest piece of ice. I thought somebody had chocked it and got out to look. Couldn't believe it was so hard to get moving, since most of the ice had melted by then.

Re: Big noise from the back wheel when it skids on ice road! Help

Can someone tell me more about ABLS!?
Is it similar to the anti-lock brakes on cars? Why does it make such a ugly loud noise? I am sure I got some heads turned when that happened to me by the gas station.
Thanks for the info!
David

This is a copy and paste right from the Nissan website.

"4-Wheel Limited Slip (ABLS)
In most situations, a spinning wheel is a bad thing. Which is why Nissan offers 4-wheel Limited Slip (ABLS)*. The system senses a drive wheel(s) spinning, then automatically applies the brakes to the slipping wheel(s), directing power to the drive wheel(s) with the best traction."

Thanks for the answer guys! Now I understand, but doesn't mean that I like it. Why does it have to be so darn loud!? Scare the baloni out of me, sounds like something is broken down there.
Thanks again and have a great weekend!
