Here is how I personally would break it down. It might be a bit different than most others:

28-30" tires:4.10s
30-33" tires: 4.30s
33-35" tires: 4.56s
35-37 tires: 4.88s
37 and bigger 5.13s

Personal opinion of course.
+1, I agree with Randomhero's opinion.

Well i am running stock tires and rims on it now which i think are 15 but might be 16 not to sure. But i am going to put some 24's on it with a 40 or 50 series tire. But that wont be for a while though

Well dont know how i missed your post but.... What you just poseted is what it is doing. But it just started recently when i did some donuts in it lol not smart but it was a blast. Now if it has the wrong fluid in it wouldnt it show signs before all of this. Keep in mind i have had this truck for almost a 1 1/2 years and had never changed the fluid? Well thanks for the post and help hope to get more information on it.
