Hey guys, I just bought my ram. If im at a full stop and jump on the gas it wont break free. Is this common or is there something wrong?

Its completly stock, 5.7 hemi. posi rear. and stock goodyear wrangler hp 20''

Just wondering, I just bought this, it has 105,000kms... (60,ooo miles)

 

My 2003 2wd doesnt either. I suspect it wont until you change the computer program using an aftermarket programmer or chip

Is it a quad cab or single? Try a standard tuneup: plugs (with stock champion copper), change fluids etc. Also, remove and clean the throttle body. I had an '05 and after cleaning the TB, it was easy to break loose from a stop. I bet after a tune up you'll notice a big difference.

Also, do you know if the 20's were on it from the factory? If they were added later, you might have a 3.55 rear which was used with the factory 17 inch rims sometimes...I imagine this rear with the 20's would make it harder to spin from a stop.

A stock Hemi Ram shouldn't have a prob breaking free.

 

My guess is its geared not to break lose My 99 does if i jump on it it has the 5.9 and its chipped has a shift kit too lol I am not sure what gears we put in the rear end<that could be the reason> If ur driving on wet and or snowy roads in 2 wheel drive Its best anyway right?

 

Probably a tuning issue...the PCM has complete control over the throttle blade. So just because you floor it doesn't mean you're instantly getting full throttle..

Mine breaks free pretty easy but I also have a one tire fryer..

 

I also have an 04 with the same specs as you mentioned and even when it was stock I could break it loose without any problem.

 

Mine doesn't either. It's an 05 1500 QC 4x4 Hemi with 20 Inch rims. I just changed the oil, rear diff fluid, spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, and K&N drop in filter. It only has 30,000 miles on her. I used Mobil 1 for my fluids until I get some R.P. It does take off very well though. Just a hard time smokin the tires from a dead stop. Around a right or left turn no problem. I have the lsd rear.

 

Yeah, a lot of people need to check if they're running with the 20's and the 3:55's.
I unfortunatley have that combination and it will only break free, when it's wet.
However, that can be an advantage as we pull off the line without ETA/speed sapping wheel spin and get a great launch!

I have a 3.92 open diff, and it will NOT smoke tires without some sort of turning or other help. I can often get it to get one spining for a little bit in a straight line, but wouldn't call it a burnout.
I do feel like the computer isn't going full throttle right away though. Maybe a pcm flash and then 'training' it to snap to full throttle might help you?
