I think it is your electronic throttle control... I read somewhere on here that it keeps you from burning out all the time... there is a way to disconnect it I have heard.

I figure that you have the 20's and he has the 17's. Also, you have not only the added weight but also the added rotational force on the drive train.

it just might be your tires. i would still like to know what gears you have and, as others mentioned, mods. you said you didn't have mods, but does your friend have em?

if your truck came factory with the 20's you might have the 3.92s. i think the next ones down are the 3.73s and anything lower than that and you're definitely not gonna do a burnout.
