Re:WOW Power Braking!!!

When I start paying taxes, maybe I'll care. But until then, I'm going to roast my tires and destroy the streets that my parents tax dollars are paying for. Besides, I figure that since my parents tax dollars are paying for the street, that part of the street is ours. And since it's our street, I'm going to play on it. ;D

Re:WOW Power Braking!!!

It's a 24 valve and I love it. That was the only time I have done it and I dont plan on doing it much more if any because I cant afford to fix it or even the truck as it is!! Especially the tires!!

Oh yeah I measured it and it was over 80 feet long. Kinda worried now so I am gonna take it easy but I sure am impressed!

Diesel Crazy: <br> Just pop the clutch with your foot on brake and throttle same time and keep it floored...unless you have a good clutch, you'll burn it in the 2-3 power shift

Re:WOW Power Braking!!!

Well. It wasn't a powerbrake, but it was a 4 wheel burn out. ;D Talk about odd. The truck didn't spin straight like I had thought it would. The rear end went to the left and the front end went to the right. I can't quite describe it. But I let off and got back on it (doing bout 15mph), and it spun all 4 again. ;D Needless to say, I had a ;D on my face the size of Texas. ;D

Re:WOW Power Braking!!!

Power braking - big deal. You could almost make any rear wheel drive do that. Laying rubber by just mashing the petal to the metal is another story.
