1. Start engine.
2. Make sure you have room.
3. Put truck in drive.
4. Push Traction Control Buttion so light is on.
5. Left foot on brake, right on gas.
6. Bring RPM's up while holding brake until tires break free; Keep Left foot on brake.
7. Give it more gas then call your tire company for new rears.

I don't know what to tell you. My '05 does not have a traction control button, and can do burnouts.

yep, I have no problem with a burnout either, although it's been years since I did any. The night before I had my 35" tires installed, I did a number on my 33" tires on some back country roads in south Georgia...

I have heard a lot of talk on the forums about gearing, could this be a gearing thing?
Also what size tires are do you have?

Probably has 33's anything bigger and he would have issue's. Your tranny needs a tune up bud. It's slipping plain and simple.If that motor is running those tires should be spinning. Specially with a powerbrake!
ps. Brakes are spelled b-r-a-k-e-s. Not breaks, Get that tranny flushed at least a valve body job. Your fluid is probably brown and cooked imo.
