Default Cant do burnout

From a complete stop. if I floor it the tires don't break loose. m ight get a chirp if there is gravel. not that I do it often but thinking that something might be wrong with my truck. seen 302s mash it off the line and lay rubber I figure my 95 f150 w/351 should be able to. seems to run strong. timing off perhaps? scanned for codes 1 year ago and got nothing. no check engine light. truck is a 95. 130kish miles, e40d and the limited slip 3.55 rear. just thought id get some opinions on the matter.

well it is a old truck, and you having a limited slip rear, i dont really see a issue, yea it should be able to spin the tires. but take into account the miles on the truck and i can see why it has so much trouble now.

Got any weight in the truck? I pretty much run an empty bed most of the time with my I-6 with 5spd and same gears, I can peel the back tires pretty easy just dumping the clutch from a stop or a slight roll, pavement and gravel. Although because of my suspension most of the time I get noting but rear wheel hop.

Tuneups never hurt and can help regain some lost power.

Smaller sized tires will help as well.

A new single cab f150 with the 302 auto just chirps and goes when you floor it. Now if you did a brake stand that's a different story. Think about it, that truck has double the hp you do.
