Unhappy V10 Can't even turn the tires!

I am a little disappointed in my 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT 4x4 V10...

I had the urge to do a burnout today ( in a safe place ) and it just would not do it. I have recently cleaned my throttle body and the iac and boy it sure does run better! But I was a bit shocked by the lack of ability.

Replace your sparkplugs and wires, your front O2 sensor (NTK PLEASE!) and check your cat.


Then come back to us.

Without knowing what state of repair/disrepair or tune your engine is in, or what size tires your running, etc, kinda hard for us to guess why you can't do burnouts.

Somethin's not right...

+1 on tune up assuming you're not running 37" tires or something crazy like that with stock gears.

Ii did not get any service records, but the throttle body i noticed made by Holley... Cant b stock right? The truck runs very good otherwise. I have only put synthetic oil in and that is all besides cleaning the iac. Dont know about the gears. The tires are 285/75/16

Holley makes our TB's so that is stock. Time for a comp test or leak down test see what shape the motor is in, if good follow with the tune up.
