Here are some possibilities and clarifications:
* You might be thinking of traction control or anti-lock brakes (ABS) .
* Many 1996 Chevy trucks came equipped with optional ABS, which helps prevent wheel lock-up during braking, potentially improving traction in slippery conditions.
* Traction control systems were not as common in 1996, but some higher-trim level trucks may have had it as an option.
* You might be referring to the truck's overall capability .
* 1996 Chevy trucks offered a variety of engine and drivetrain options, including four-wheel drive (4WD) configurations. 4WD trucks generally have better traction on slippery surfaces compared to two-wheel drive (2WD) trucks.
* You might be using "positive traction" in a non-standard way.
* If you can provide more details about what you mean by "positive traction," I can give you a more specific answer.
To give you the most accurate answer, I need more information:
* What specifically do you mean by "positive traction"?
* What model of 1996 Chevy truck are you interested in? (e.g., Silverado, C/K, etc.)
* Are you looking for information about a particular trim level or option?
With more context, I can provide a more accurate response.
