Default Burnouts, and Rear Difs.

Got a beer?


Okay, today I ran into IGA [local grocery store in my small town] I got back into my truck, put it in drive an just had the wheel cranked to the left a bit, and mashed on the gas. Both tires spun, an left a small 6ft burnout, usually they both dont spin, well everytime i spun the tires, it was when i had a load in the bed, or a boat on the back. But now without anything in it, both wheels will spin. I do have a locker in my rear dif. But i guess it maybe time for a better one?

I don't know you tell me. I ain't no expert on these just yet.

^Why would you need a locker for the street?
Thats dangerous much.
Also, you might wanna get some real tires under that truck of yours.
You're going to hurt yourself one day.

I'm not trying to be your dad, I just don't see the point in spinning the tires as much as you seem to claim to.
You say how often you spin your tires yet you're complaining about how expensive they are?
Come on man.

Foregoing the fact that you were spinning the tires with a load on the truck for just a moment...

If you keep it up, prepare to at the very least, on destroying the spider gear in the rear pumpkin. Then also prepare to probably not know you did that and drive with the issue getting worse. If you are lucky, you'll make a turn and slide one side of the rear axle expelling your brake drum contents and resulting in your need of a tow to home or a shop. Even worse, you could slide out the whole side of the axle and wreck the truck possibly causing a wreck.

Being reckless in with no load is ignorant enough and I've even been known to do it a few times myself, but with a load on the truck? I can't face palm enough and I love the fact that you are at least a state away from me.

Your truck. Your parts. Your money. Your life. Take away all of that and I don't care. Take another life and that is unforgivable.
