Yes!! Soon to tune!!!!

[techieman33]

All I'm going to say now is spinning tires used to be fun. Now it's a major nuisance.

I'm beginning to want the AWD back.

I think I may go on the hunt for a transfer case and driveshafts.

Besides-I don't think my 4406 is happy right now for some reason. I'm getting a

woop woop woop ( with a metallic tone) at highway speed.

Shouldn't be to hard, I can think of a couple of people that would be willing to swap with you.

 

[Jakee]

I would love the AWD.

 

[Xan]

I would love the AWD.

AWD = -6 to -9 MPG

 

[Turdle]

AWD = -6 to -9 MPG

nope-
maybe 1-2

I was getting over 20mpg on mine with the stock tune.

How? man i never got over 18 and my average ussaly ended up around 15

 

[Turdle]

Don't tell me that Jon, I'm just getting my parts cleaned and ready to go in.

How much spin do you have, and have you tried the 4WD at all? I'm going the BW4406 route with TOD because of the success of Alex. He has had no issues besides the OEM recall module change a couple of years ago

I'm getting a lot. To launch without heated tires means black marks until it hit's second gear or I let off--

Maybe some slicks would help-hmmm.

 

[MountaineerGreen]

I'd get slicks before going back

Trade ya wheels and tires i got 275/60/15 for the rear, bet you'd get some traction with those.

 

[Turdle]

I'm running 275-60 17's now

And they are slightly scuffing the tubs-

awww i see.
OK i vote awd, but rebuild the T-case before you put it on or you might blow it up.

We had a rain last night which washed these away partially. I painted them there for Techieman33 and tekman05 who were down Saturday as a landmark.

The first one red, second with warm tires green.

Powerbraking ---ha
I laugh at powerbraking-this is how it leaves in drive.

 

[Xan]

wait, what, is your truck a one wheel wonder truck? Or do you got limited slip?

There's 2 lines on each-the rain washed them away though-
you can see them but the camera can't-

on the end of each start line in the picture is a tire mark-the red one is very near the curb. If you look real close at the red line at the end-that is tire to tire. you can see the right side tire mark all the way out there-
Notice the sand from the downpour last night.

Ah ok, well when you got a truck chassis you got a bad weight ratio and tire spin happens, plus its up higher than a car also. So awd would fix that (or a trans-brake). But losing your burn out fun kinda sucks, i'd go back to awd though i'm all about traction and the best launch you can. Plus its good for snow/gravel/rain Which as i'm guessing you guys get about as much as i get in NE.

How much steering do you have to do normally?

 

[Turdle]

How much steering do you have to do normally?

Yeah--that's another thing-
I noticed James truck doing it also-

The rear wants to go to the right-so I do have to steer into it for a bit. That would be the engine's torque direction, so there is work to be done there-but what?

 

[Jakee]

I can tell you what helped me the most but I'm sure you'll frown on this. Do you still have the front sway on there? Faster weight transfer. It takes 15 minutes and if you don't like, put it back on. I found that it really didn't do bad things to mine; I can still take corners well. It's not as bad as I thought it would be.

How would a transbrake help Jon's traction problems?

 

[99SportX]

These are the kind of problems I wish I had Jon. lol

 

[techieman33]

he leaves 2 tracks, I've seen it in person, I even got to leave a pair last summer

Jon, have you thought about your future plans? you might want the 4wd for that.
