Default Hey, I got the back tires to spin.....

Yeah I finally got to turn the back tires over on my '06. You want to know how I did it...... I was driving in the snow!!! I swear this truck has no ***** except for WOT @ higher speeds. I could light the tires up from a stop in my '98, no way this truck will do it. Does a tune help this at all??

tune will fix it . It's called torque management.

What they said and the 3.42 gears are really steep for launching.
+ the 06 brakes don't want to let you do a brakestand either.
I feel your pain man.
IMO these trucks with the 3.42s should have come with a TT2600 torque converter stock.
A tune will help, but the gears are really holding you back.
Highway mileage is nice though!

yeah, I know the gears are holding the tire-spin back, but my old truck had them. I guess I might get a tune, but I'm not sure who I would have do it.

Yup, best bet is a custom tune done on the Dyno/Street, next best is a mail order tune. I couldn't chirp my tires even with the 3.73s without brakestalling before tune.
