I've put mine to the floor power-braking it and it just sits there on 35's with 3.73 gears lol. Thats why I call it the SuperTurd. I did find out some VHT and water will let em' spin, but its pretty pitiful. plus it made me cringe thinking about how spendy those tires were and to watch them go up in smoke!

Tire tread matters too, tire to tire might be different in traction. I know my V6 could roast my A/T's that were 32" tall, now got some 28" H/T's and they wont budge.

I can't spin my 35's very easily either. I have the 5.4, with 4R100 tranny, 4:10's. But they are about brand new and 13" wide. I guess i havent really tried though. I will get on it and it wont break loose, they just grip it and go. but ive never tried any powerbreaking or anything like that.

Something my friend tried is find a place where a dirt road meets an asphalt road. Gun it and get it to break loose on the dirt, then get on the asphalt and they should spin for a little while. He did it with a early 90's chevy with a 350. All stock.

I cant spin my 265/70/17's on dry pavement with a 5.4L and 3.55 gears. I always thought it was my Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors which I've been very happy with. But now you got me thinking.

sometimes i like to open my door and put my foot on the ground and hold my truck still then gun it using my foot to hold it in place while i burn out...nah im kidding but thats a funny image to me. i have 315/75/16's on my truck and i was burning em off up until i replaced my tranny. but i havent even pulledit out of the garage yet with the new tranny in it now im eager to see what i can do with it. i have buckshot maxxis mudders on the back . take your truck to a shop and have em do a thorough lookover it and see if anything springs out at them. (did you check tomake sure you didnt have the ebrake on when you tried to burn em?

Is it true that your front brakes engage before your rear brakes, so if you press the brake lightly only your front brakes will engage? I heard that somewhere but dont know if its true.


Haha hopefully a supercharger will help out with this problem

Yeah i keep trying and trying but it feels like the power is not getting to the back wheels. I did get to smoke one of my tires but that was even more of a disappointment than anything as this is a LS diff and only one turned.
