Hello gents - Had a chance to drive in the snow this past weekend. Was pretty awesome. Just had one question, maybe one of you guys can shed light on this. So I was on a 8 lane highway and the two lanes on the righthand side weren't plowed so nobody was in them. Traffic was backed up for a few miles, and I was in a HUMMER... so I went for it. Probably 3-5" of snow on the ground at this point. So I'm cruising along about 25-30mph and some idiot pulls out in front of me from a dead stop. I coasted till I slowed down enough, and when I was coasting/decelerating, I noticed a loud almost cyclical thudding coming from the front of the car. Anyone know what it was? I didnt look at the dash, so im not sure if any of the Stabilitrac or ABS lights were on. Just wondering what it was or if it's normal.

 

That sounds like a functioning ABS!

 

I didn't have my foot on the brake, but I read up on the Stabilitrak system today and I guess it can initiate the brakes for you if it senses the vehicle is sliding...even without my foot hitting the breaks

 

That's correct.

 

Pretty cool stuff
