Since they're street tires, I give them a quick spin (fling the water off of the tires from the waterbox) and launch at about 1200rpm. If the tires slip, I use the clutch to control the spin and can quickly "reconnect" with the pavement. However, i'm at the limit on traction with the tires and need slicks to keep the traction out of the hole.

Tires are BFG 255/50-17 KDWS.

I was woundering if you could help me. The other day I drove my truck for like an hour , then i stopped at my mothers to visit for like 15-20 min. I came back out and got into my my 1990 dakota. (my mother lives on a busy corner) I have to pull in the drive way accross the street so i can turn around and go oput the other way. So I seen I car come around the corner , I jumped into my truck started it quick put it in drive and gave gas......Then it stalled and would not start up. So I got some gas and poured it into the throttle body and it started right up, but then stalled when that gas was gone. So I think it is not getting gas for some reason Maybe the fuel filter or pump. I will start w/the fuel filter. If I have too do the pump Will it be easyier to take the bed off and do it that way or just drop the tank????? I have also read about some (ASD) auotomatic shut down relay..it shuts down the power to the pump????/How can I turn this on if this is the case... Now the tricky part. I know I should listen for the hum from the pump.. UP intill now when I would sit in my truck and when I turn it on I would hear this noise it is like a UM.............kindea like a clicking noise but not like click.............click..it is fait and like very fast anyhoo hard to explain but it has always done this and it will stop after like 3 seconds... After all this happen I pump the hood and now I I think that noise is coming out of this piece under th hood.... It is on the top of the block and it has some thimg to do with the hrottle body. It has 3 wires going in to the clip that slide in to the piece that is makeing the noice and one wire coming out and going to....it looks like it goes right up into the middle off the injectors and this piece it also has a screw coming out of it I believe it the idle screw..Can you tell me what this piece is...(should it be making a noice>?????? It has always made this noice...... Some has told me there is a valve on the fuel line like a tire valve and when I turn the car on I should feel some pressure come out.......???? where is this piece...O almost for got I went to the part store to get prices on fuel filtet and pump... I forget wich one they said this about but on one of the parts they asked me if I have a 131 wheel base or not ...How do I find out about the wheel base///It is probly on a sticker some where under the hood or on the door...Please any info will be greatly appriciated and helpful .....1990 3.9 L V6 2x4
