I don't have a button for traction controll. I think that my tires are just too soft maybe. was able to break loose with a power brake and while turning a slight corner.

On page 356 of the owner's manual, it explains this. If it doesn't in any of y'alls, I'd be happy to get that for y'all.

Can I do burnouts/donuts in the snow/ice? Yeah I would hope so. I'm sure easier than the f150 did in the video! Haven't had any around since last friday so I don't know.

get some 4.56's if 4x4 or 4.88's if 2WD and that should help.

Just flooring mine from a light on DRY pavement will not spin them. A little bit of brake to bring the RPM's up before letting off and they will spin. ANY moisture one the pavement and I can spin them all day long.

The only way I would re gear is if I went with larger tire sizes. I just wanted to make sure that I don't have any problems with power mainly.

Kinda weird but it rained here yesterday and in a straight line the tires would barely break loose, then grip and rip. If going around a corner the Posi would kick in and I would go sideways for a few then when I straighten out it would grip right up.

Why are we so worried about trying to get the tires loose? Why strain the tranny, engine, and the rest of the drivetrain. I doubt theres anything wrong with the truck. You have 3.92 gears with your factory 20s on, unless youve have a programmer/ CAI/ Exhaust, and torque managment. Breaking loose is going to be harder. I can break my tires loose real easy with my setup.

But the bigger question is why do you want to waste money on buying tires, and replacement parts earlier?
