Default Hmmm this is weird

I've rode in some stock trucks like mine and if the take off hard they get wheel spin a lil at first when my truck was stock all it would do would throw you back in your seat is there something rong I have no check engine lights or nuthin I have 373 gears or 355 gears I can't remember lol but it kinda disappoints me

So absolutely nothing else is different between your trucks, aside from the trim?

I'm gonna agree here. I know it's not what you want, but trust me, wheel slippage sucks.

Sounds like you want more power, which is a lot deeper than just traction.

Once the truck gets going it has plenty of power it's just the off idle power sucks and it idles perfect it just disappoints me that a stock truck exactly like mine can stomp me off the line

Tire pressure is a biggy, plus all engines aren't equal
