steve, you change tire size or anything?
Todd, give 'em a break, not everyone is able to or wants to enjoy the manual trans.

SOME tires will grip the road better as they get more bald! That is of course ONLY on smooth dry pavement!

120,000 i doubt its from tires
sensors {including o2}, good and full tune up,
and cat by now if not plugged is getting restrictive

Hey there's one other thing that could have a BIG impact on spinning the tires.
It's summertime. And if the truck is plenty warm and the A/C has been running the clutch fan could be engaged and that will suck some power out as well. I'm talking the difference of spinning the tires vs. not spinning the tires!
That's why many people go with electric fans.
