This thread is so full of fail its not even funny.

"Drifting" in a full sized pickup. Not only is it just silly, its extremely unsafe.

how can you tell, im finding out little by little about my truck. and drifting in a truck just gets you stuck. I think ive got pics up of my 2wd in a ditch up to the doors in water after it rained for 3 days. too much gas getting on the highway going sideways, doing good then TRACTION! and over compensation=into the ditch. I shouldve taken pics of it downtown and still driving on brick roads up to the doors during tropical storm fay that sat over St. Augustine for a week and just dumped water and the whole town in about 3 ft below sea level, high tide floods the streets on a nice sunny day with wonderful salt water from the bay.

Drifting in a truck is way more exciting than in a car, and is surprisingly easier than in a car due to light rear ends
Which way were you turning and you sure you have posi not LSD

THEY ARE THE SAME THING!! "positraction" was a term coined by GM for their LSD and the slang term posi came from it! ford used to use the term "Traclok"
