That's funny.... My truck isn't broke, and anyone that knows me will tell you it's one of the best maintained trucks around. Now that I've upgraded to 11-20's, I no longer spin the tires.

I don't dog my truck out, nor am I reving in neutral and slapping it in drive trying to spin tires. I could care less about that, but I do notice that the tires bark a bit off the start. My truck seems to have plenty of power, I found it odd that some guys are having power issues that's all.

Mine can spin on gravel a little bit, but not a brake stand. It spins 33s in mud and wet grass. With a fresh trasmission it keeps up with traffic a little better.

I want to know about the guys with the turbo, and or a 700r4.

I can spin my 36's on dirt with not much work. I can squeal the tires on if I gun it while making a sharp turn on pavement. I have 4.10 gears.

my 1008 will spin like crazy on gravel with no effort. I will never try it either way on purpose but I've seen a video on ebay for a 1008 where he kept doing a burnout on pavement, one after another to advertize it. I thought that was a stupid way to brag myself but it sure spun a lot.

Thats right, tear the **** out of them,it's only $$$$$$$$$ and disrespect for trucks......My two cents....
If it's my truck I would drive it any way I wanted to as I'm the one that has to fix it if I tear it up
but if I am driving some one else's truck your darn right I treat it with respect
2cents

i learned long ago spinning tires means junking a vehicle alot sooner my step son just found out that spinning tires in a 4x4 destroys rears trannys and transfercases. i love getting in my " sucky truck" and pulling off while his sits in the driveway lol.

even my huge pig of an M1010 will easily spin tires in any dirt or loose gravel if i want it to. its even chirpped going into 2nd a few times on straight dry pavement... although i now try to avoid that. i was just surprised it would since its not the racecar it appears to be...;-)

My M1009 will fry them on dirt, and will chirp them from a dead stop on pavement. Its amazing the difference that advancing the IP a few degrees and turning up the fuel screw an 1/8 of a turn makes on these engines.
