I can do it no problem with my Chevy. I haven't tried it in my 01 CTD yet. What is the best approach?
01', CTD, 4x4, auto.

 

I don't know how well the 24v's do; I know the Common Rail trucks have "Torque Management" that hinders their burnout ability.

Hold the brake, hit the accelerator until the wheels start spinning, then mat it . You shouldn't have much of a problem with turbo lag with your truck.

 

Cool. Just like a gasser.

 

I have to let off the brake a little with my tires, 33's with good tread, but once I get them going, I stay on the brake.

 

Its much like a gasser. Brakes+Accel, ease out on brake until spinage and stab brake to keep it going. Its alot easier with a manual tho. Just dont be like this:

i actually tried it on my 6 spd, and i spun my clutch so bad that i had clutch smoke rolling out from under both sides of my truck, i think I NEED schooling on how to do a burnout with a manual diesel.....



because of that night, i am now very close to buying a new clutch as i dont feel safe pulling a trailer with it

 

Dont be surprised if you cant burn them with a stock truck. My buddies stock 01 wouldnt do it.

Some vice grips lightly clamped onto the rear flex line will fix that problem.

 

yea my 03 wont do a burnout on dry ground, but its stock

 

us guys and are nights.........i seem to recall many nights in my truck i regreted knowing i weakend or broke some **** thing and i always feel dumb........................but im not the only redneck out there that gets a little wild i see

 

my truck wouldn't do it when it was stock either. but my smarty took care of that. heck, my edge ez even took care of it when i had it on my truck, but i sold it.

 

Once I start making enough power on my dually to actually be able to do a burnout, I'll have to think long and hard about doing that... I just don't want to break something, and I recall reading an old thread on here about things you regretted, and one guy mentioned his truck that felt like it has 15k miles on it after just one sled pull felt like a 100k mile truck and he swore he would never do it again, so I think my sliding around on wet roads will be good enough for me .

 

You must of tried too hard. 2500 rpms, ease it out a little right before it engages, then drop the clutch all the way, plenty of spinage for me.

 

I remember seeing a video of Blackdiesel on here with his 02 doing a saweeet burnout. Mind you, I think the guy has something like 450-500hp and 900lb/ft tq .

When in doubt, add more power

 

Fuel fuel fuel and a gentle touch on the brake. Here is one of my sober tries at it.
