i have a 2000 5.3 regcab and i have tried to powerbrake this thing and all that happens is the back raises up and feels like its gonna flip over the front end and then the next time i stop it feels like the brakes have a little indention in them from me trying cuz there seems to be a non smooth braking. Im sure the truck has the power. ive spun the tires through the gears up to 50mph...you know each time it switches gears it breaks loose...and i have limited slip. Maybe im just a retard. let me know guys

Try not to push on the brakes so damn hard.

Use just enough break to keep it from moving.

Don't use the e-brake either.

Pull the abs Fuse
I couldn't do a burn out before
I pulled it and had great results
What happens it is the ECU sees the rear wheels spinning and the front stopped
It dumps the fluid outta the fronts rolling you forward
That is how i think it goes anyhow
It works

I had trouble doing burn outs when my truck was new. I think I just had to tell it who was boss.

yeah i was wondering if it was the abs too because i know of subarus and certain dodges that wont burn out very well because of the way the abs is set up(overly sensitive or works on opposite corners). Burning out with rear drums has never been a problem but i think since the disc brakes work better they make it a little more difficult. I have considered pulling the abs chip-just to finish off what was left of my tires-trucks are not too much fun on the street without the abs, especially when old people pull out in front of you.

I know this isn't the Subaru forum, but FYI all Subaru's are all-wheel drive, so you can't powerbrake any of them.

My '99 5.3 won't powerbrake worth a darn either.

I put this on my Lightning and it will spin the tires crazy !!!!! Most braking systems distribute 60% to the front brakes and 40% to the rear. What the line loc does is you apply pressure to your brakes, hold the button, and let go of the brake pedal,the line loc will hold the brakes 100% in the front and 0% in the rear.

Nice quote in the sig.

I've been thinking about a line lock, but they don't have one in a kit for us truck guys yet. I'm not putting a bunch of rubber hoses on my brakes that don't need to be there though.
