the hilarity continues

I hit the loud pedal too hard the other day doing a lane change at 30mph and got into nasty power slide. Usually it just torques to the left a little, not much, but this time I had to counter steer it. These tires are awful. Its the last set of highway tread I'll get.

BTW I usually baby this truck. Don't want you guys getting the wrong impression.

I don't know how you guys get these things to do that. I can't spin my tires unless I rev it up and dump the clutch... which I don't really like to to.

Anybody close to KS wanna tune my truck?

He was saying that he turned down the OD ( outer diameter) of his tires. Kinda like turning down a piece of metal on a lathe.

Few reasons hard tires, open diff, and power mods in sigs. Truck now makes 27psi. It only takes 7-8 seconds to hit 1300 EGT at WOT at highway speeds.

No more one wheel peels for me, I just picked up a limited slip unit yesterday. So if i wanna turn down the OD on my tires i can do both back ones at the same time! Pretty excited about it, can't wait til i have the power to do some fish tales on dry pavement. I should be putting it in this weekend along with the 3200 spring

Are you asking about the limited slip or something else?
