Decades ago in my 72 Blazer, I was goofing around on the back roads in the snow to see what I could and couldn't get away with. Normally the rig was impossible to control using 2WD in the snow. But going down a hill I had the exact same thought as you, that 2WD might help keep the back end behind me where it belonged. So I slipped it from 4 into 2. I was not sliding before I did this, not having trouble at all. But the truck immediately swapped ends and skidded backwards down the hill and into a ditch. I never did figure that out. Coincidence? Did I twitch the wheel a bit as I was reaching for the selector down there on the floor? Anyway, I put it back in 4, grizzled my way out of the ditch and continued.
