I was able to somewhat recreate the issue on Saturday. It most definitely IS the TC kicking in and controlling wheel spin by reducing engine power. My assumption is that the system does this to allow the BLD a chance to take over since it is only active in 4wd.
Feathering the fuel will put the JT anywhere you want to go as the BLD is very impressive at doing what it was designed to do. However, it still bugs me that I can't just stay in the throttle and spin my way up onto these smaller ledges. It's not so much that I would spin my way to the top all the time because I actually like the way the BLD handles the truck but more so that if I need to keep the RPMs up to complete the climb the computer won't let me.
I tried to video the problem but be to honest it's hard to tell when it's happening from outside the Jeep. My buddy holding the camera did a good job it's just hard to tell. My son didn't ride with me this time so no inside footage of the issue.
You can see and hear the TC and BLD working between 1:34 and 1:43.
