I just thought I'd post the info for others not famialiar with the A-trak system.

The way it works is when, say the right wheel spins, the brakes automatically apply enough pressure to slow the spinning wheel down to almost the same speed as the none slipping left wheel. By doing that torque is supposed to tranfser to the wheel with traction so the wheel off the ground will still spin.
My Nissan Titan has the same thing but it's called ABLS (Active Brake Limted Slip)
