Don't be fooled lrhogfan, most of the three dozen or so people who responded to this aren't real.

It's actually just a couple of guys, Fred Firestone and Harry Goodyear.

I wish (sometimes)

I wish i wouldn't spin the tires all the time. Sometimes it's a pain in the !@#. My tuck is a 99 5.4 4x4 with 235/17's TA KO's and i can cook em off at will totaly stock truck. The old factory tires were impossible to drive with it was so easy to spin (i suffer from HFS- heavy foot syndrome). After all the different cars and truck i have driven i would agree with dodge4x4 guy (wow that was hard to say) I have driven vechiles that are twins but one always seems to be a bit quciker. just life i guess.


My 2cents

Just as long as we all remember that the one that spins ain't quicker.

No spin = 15.712

I find that I spin waaaaay too frequently without meaning to on dry pavement! I have a few mods but nothing extreme.

With my stock truck I was hard pressed to spin em in a straight line, with my mods however I have no problem spinning my 33's with an LS rear while at a 20mph roll

That explains it

Well those mods would definatly assist in burning the tires to the rim.

Great truck. Got any pics of the mods (under hood)

I can

I can spin mine pretty easily with my '94 5.8...It's a quick truck, for one it's size. My Dad's old '94 With a Lightning engine (5.8 from a '94 Lightning) used to be able to absoloutely cook tires...I'm serious...I worked at young's truck sales for awhile, as most of you guys know, and I used to get old tires from out in the scrapyard there. Then, I'd go into the shop, and put em on an old set of rims, and put em on my truck. I'd go out, and just cook em till they were almost like slicks. I remember I had a set on there, and actually popped a tire once. I might've burned out on somethin sharp or somethin, but I don't know. I was burnin out, and the tires were spinnin and spinnin...then...POW! I almost crapped in my pants...For like a split second, i thought i blew the engine...Then i noticed i was on a 'slight' angle...And rode back to the shop (on Jack's rim, not mine) and slapped on a new tire. And out I went again!
