Seriously...use the powerbrake method, not the neutral drop method.

Jim

Exactly! Never neutral drop it!!!

Please never do a burnout in a truck. EVER!

I'm with you Dad ;)

I wish my truck could burn the tires. Damn 4.2 auto.

If you just want to see the smoke and hear your motor wind up tight, you can mix some bleach and water for a really slick solution to get rid of the traction and let her go. Tires break loose very easily and there is no need to power break once they are spinning. This method lessons the drive line shock and keep you from having to really get rough on the transmission and u-joints.

After 180,000 miles of straight hell my 8.8" bit the dust. It has made 200+ passes down the drag strip and easily a couple hundred miles of burnouts. At some point you'll pull the cover and find the spiders and clutches destroyed but burn 'em off until then.

Grass, dirt and mud, even sand- hours of burn outs and you should be fine lol, I do and my trucks still running great as far as Im concerned

You should be fine. Just leave the tranny in first. You could damage the clutch packs in your differential, but it would more than likely take quite a few burnouts to do that. I can't even do a burnout in my truck. That's what the stang is for :D

does the 1st gear selection on the auto give more torque?

no but keeps it in gear and saves the tranny from trying to shift.

Burns331 09-20-2010 01:35 PM

Putting it into first gear apply a clutch band that keeps the clutch pack from slipping. It will be better for the equipment.

That burnout i posted was in drive. I have done them clear through 3rd gear before with out any issues. But I would never recommend it to anybody. It is hard on equipment for sure.

Man I'd do burnouts everyday if my tires didn't cost $300 a piece
