Back up a few feet then put in drive, dont move and do a brakestand. When in reverse it will lock both axles in.

They do. Knowing you have a 4.6 with "3.31" gears you anit going to spin both if you were on wet pavement.

LMAO! This coming from a V6 guy... Oh the irony...

There are plenty of 4.6L guys that will disagree.

Haha laugh it the **** up. Cause sitting on my dresser is keys to a Single Cab 4.6, Supercab 5.4, and a SuperCab 4.2. So i dont know the freaken irony. My 4.2 spins them a lot easier than my ol 4.6

Proof I have it sitting in my drive way.







So before you make assumtions back it up. I'd rather drive my V6 than the weak *** V8.

They can disagree, but I know for a fact that my 4.6 isnt a space shuttle. It only weights 3900# 2WD, and its still cant beat my sixxer, oh the irony. Its just building up.
