WOW Power Braking!!!
Ok guys I tried power braking with my truck, now I have only had this for a few weeks now and I just said why not right. Now I put this in the diesel section because I have a diesel and I wanted to show the power this has. My truck is all stock right now but as you all know my turbo whistles real bad but it still seems to work so I dont know! Anyway I held the brake on and pressed the gas and it took a little bit to get up but as soon as the turbo kicked in the wheels broke loose and smoke rolled off my tires. Unfortunately I didnt have anyone to take a pic while I was doing it but I will hook you guys up. I just went up there and took some pics of the marks to show u guys. Now its getting kinda dark so bare with me here. I will get better ones tomorrow but here you go. Oh yeah it left liquid rubber and tar where the tire spun!!!! WOW

Tough on tranny? Not at all. Mine's still going strong. :
<br><br>Tough on brakes? Not really. My rear pads still had 80% left on them at 30K miles.<br><br>Tough on tires? Extremely. I went through my stock tires in 6000 miles. 
;D<br><br>Tough on street? Who really cares?<br><br>Tough on input shaft thingy? Mine's not dead yet (I say that as I'm knocking on the wood cabinet next to me ).<br><br>Tough on wallet when cops catch you? Hell yes it is. Got caught once. Wasn't even trying. I was on the feeder coming off of Hwy.90 on to Hwy.6. It was a little wet. I tried to accelerate and I spun the tires BADLY. Looked back. And what do you know. There a bike coming up to me with his lights on. $150 later, it was cleared off of my record.
