sorry i just answered the ??... it like i told him how to shoot a gun, and he goes out and shoots him self in the foot, is that my fault?
just answered it ..thats all,,, I told him what he wanted to know.. not what he didn't ask for. but, i like what i was thinkin in my head like your truck is most likey stock with a bad plumem and if you can't bark them takin off you should be doing it at all

You need to try it again. You know what... I'll fix it for you. 
He asked to spin the tires "and stay in one place for a couple seconds", but you said yourself that if done correctly, you won't move that much. Moving and not moving are two different things... so... that means that all of those people you called an idiot for telling him to use the brake, arn't an idiot after all.
Your Stomp And Go (SAG) method does not always work on dry pavement and thats why we all use the brake. You obviously have an open diff if your getting a few seconds out of it, but the OP may have a limited slip. Who knows? but if he does your method isn't going to work at all.
I was going to ask how to do a 28 second burnout since you only need a brake for 30 seconds plus, but I think your getting the bigger picture by now young grasshopper.
For the sake of further debate, OP, just get line lock

My point here is the fact that I can gag it from a standstill, break the traction and not move. I can continue to lay rubber down for a few seconds before my tires (all terrain BTW) start to get sticky and then they hook.
My fear with people telling him to do this not only lies with the tranny, but more importantly the diff. When I was 16, I did the brake stand on it to "peel out". It also grenaded my diff and I didn't really know it until I made a right hand turn onto a street and the left side of the axle slid all the way out and dropped in the street. Not fun.
You should also know that I'm not merely a country boy with a truck. That isn't the case at all. most of my summers as a kid was spent at random drag strips. I don't know how backwards you PA guys are, but down here there is a huge regulation that keeps people from standing on the brakes to heat the tires up.
The idea is the same as what I'm warning about. The strips down here dont want people tearing the hell out of their diffs in the water box and then attempting to make an open throttle pass. This is yet another reason why the NHRA has banned C-clip style differentials.
As for what is in bold? Sorry, you make me laugh. A recommendation to install a line loc system on a stock truck and tranny? LOL IMO, that's the equivalent of doing neutral bombs in a vehicle.
Yes it was, and it's not quite over.
Thats all fine and dandy, but since when is it mandatory to apply a warning label to every posts? DodgeRam07, the first poster told him in the beginning not to neutral drop, and brake stands etc arn't good as well, and then ... told him how to do it. Was a great response. Aim followed in and gave his post. I then offered my variant, as well as some others following me. The part that I have a problem with was Laramie calling our members idiots for using the brake which was completely out of line because it is a legitimate answer. I do take offense when you call members I appreciate, an idiot (DodgeRam07, Aim, iwhitne, and the new guys I don't know yet). Sure I may taken it a bit far with the nit-picking, but everything I corrected of Laramie's was truthful.
Jason, thanks for stepping in, I was and probably still am out of line, but it is my personal experience with torching tires that makes me get heated on this subject.
You will also notice that I left Iwhine's post alone as well as the other comment about bleach. Yes, bleach might be a little old school, but those two posts are the safest method by far compared to everyone jumping in and telling him to brake stand it.

I'm closing this thread until some of you settle down. FWIW, I think it is irresponsible to simply toss a grenade and walk away, which is basically what many of you did. The OP is an obvious newbie to vehicles AND DF. While some of you were trying to be humorous, the potential is there for this guy to go out and try and take your advice and either damage something or hurt someone. That wouldn't be so funny. While it is not our job to police other people, we shouldn't be encouraging them to do stupid things, either.
I also don't appreciate my video being used in the context it was in this thread (since removed). It was done under controlled conditions by someone who actually has done a few burnouts in his day, but I certainly wouldn't use it as a training video. In the motorcycle world we get a similar question all the time: how do you do a wheelie? Those of us that have been riding long enough know there's no real way to answer that question other than to say, "Find an open area away from everyone else, and just practice." Because the reality is that it is all about feel and you have to learn it by doing it and the skill always comes with a crash or two.
It would have been nice to see someone in the early stages of this post tell the OP to be more responsible in his driving instead of goading him into doing something stupid.
Oh, and for the record, my truck sounds awesome in person.
