Default Lit up the tires

I have an earlier post mentioning/complaining that the '08 2500 4x4 QC Hemi didn't seem as punchy as the '07 1500 4x4 QC. While I frequently could get the back end to break free on 1500 without really trying, I wasn't able to even get the 2500 to chirp.

Today, now that I have about 5K miles on the engine, I decided to try again. WOT on a cold engine left about 30' of black tracks in an empty parking lot. Being a little more aggressive on the gas also breaks the rear-end free as well.

I was also able to see that I really do have LSD in the rear.

Word is that it takes around 5000-6000 miles of preprogrammed break in time before you get the full power of the engine.

He's a DF stalker in training. lol

My truck doesn't feel like it could do a burn-out. I might get a little squeal, but I always hook up right away. Which is what an LSD is for, so I'm not complaining. My old tires seemed to chirp really easily around a corner, and if I would actually hammer on it, I could probably have burned them to the metal strips.
