Rear tires lock up while coasting downhill..

While going downhill on a snow covered road, i've noticed my back tires will lock up while coasting in 2nd gear. My truck has a limited slip, and I wondered if anyone else has this problem or if it might be ABS related or what. It's pretty scary when the truck slides downhill sideways in the snow!!

Too much resistance in 2nd gear going downhill on a slippery road. Put it in 4x4 or use the brakes so you get 4 wheel traction.
