Message:
I have a 92 3.9 auto ex cab w/ open air filter and cat cut w/turbo tube going into a dynomax single in, dual out. I have a 136k miles on it and cant spin the tires while rolling. My neighbor's 93 can and he has cat cut w/flowmaster and a stock intake w/ kn filter. I was just wondering if my truck was the slow one of the bunch. I know everyone can power brake, but just wondering if everyone can let off brake and punch it, will it spin?

I have a 02 quad and i cant brake torque either the only way is in the rain like the others. I was told its because the truck is so heavy. I think its a lack of power.

I just put my stock tires back on. When its cool out I can get a little bark while rolling. No my neighbors truck is auto. Maybe he's talking trash, but I dont think so. We raced when I had 235/75/15 and he walked away pretty good, Id say about 3-4 lengths in the quarter.

Hey dakotaster. Do you have rear disc brakes? If so then its almost impossible to power brake.

I can break them loose rolling at about 15 mph in first gear. I used to be able to break them loose in 2nd from about 30 mph until i put the 255 wide tires on there. I have manual tranny, flowmaster exhaust, cowl induction, v8 tb, 1.7 roller rockers, centerforceII clutch, underdrive pullies, some fuel and timing modifications, powerflo air filter, plus a 40 shot of nitrous just in case :)

Ok, with the original tires on the 15x7 rims, I couldnt make them stop spinning on a hard launch. But with the new tires on 15x8 rims (235/65/15) It is hard to spin them but it still happens.

I have a 94 dakota with a 3 inch lift, and 33 inch tires, with a v8 tb, flowmaster, cold air, and that's bout it. I can spin em through first, but I guess having a 5 speed helps.

I have an automatic 97 3.9L 4x4 dakota with 125,000m. I cannot power brake unless its wet, from a dead stop to my hardest launch on a clean dry surface it wont spin. I can spin them around turns always. Also the truck doesnt break sideways unless its wet, and even then I have to be goin fast and cutting it hard.
