20/20 hindsight, but by letting off the gas you probably made the rear tires lose grip and that's when it all started!
Not an instinctive reaction, but knocking the truck into neutral may have avoided the skid. Got this advice from a Canadian Police Driving Instructor friend.
Interesting.. I figured that out on my own, Used it a few times too.
I recall one day I hit a patch of black ice,, Popped it in neutral, fought it down cussing teh steering gear on the old Impala something fierce (Car had power steering but the steering gear was from a non-power car so it took many turns to get it all the way).. Got control back, dropped back in Drive and SLOWED down.
passenger was white as a sheet "How can you be so calm"
Well, back when it was exciting,, i was kind of busy
And not that we are back under control, nothing to get excited about.
