Just when I thought my '03 would not squeal the tires from a stand still I get it do it 2 times without even really trying. It seemed to me only the right tire let loose which means the limited slip somehow got disengaged.
After thinking about why it did it this time I remember going around a sharp corner and stepping on it. That's the first time it happened. Then at the next 2 stop lights it did it again without even trying. Then it was back to normal.
I could see how an open axle could really lay some rubber. But when the limited slip is engaged its all traction.

Reelwork,
Yours is able to spin the rear wheels because of all the weight in front of the front wheels. That big grill guard not only looks killer, but it also reduces the weight on the rear wheels.
(Just playing around; I'm jealous of your grill guard and the fact that your truck must make more power than mine
)

LOL - Actually...
I checked the weight when I bought the Grille Guard as that was a concern. If it was 200 lbs or more (with brackets and all) I was gonna pass. Total weight of the thing is right aroung 170.
It works great when I push up against a brick wall to light 'em up! LOL.
Seriously though, I noticed that improvement within the first ffew miles of driving with the M-Flow installed. First time I chirped the tires at like 5-8 mph. I also can punch it and it will begin to spin. I always back off when it happens but it will spin 'em...
Later,
Chris
