hot rod truck Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Yes, they will come around. Make sure you have the front end pointed where you want to go because when the front axle catches up to the rear, you're going where the truck is pointed Torque steer too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wody Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) if it is wet it is possible. i enjoy taking advantage of wet conditions sometimes. even awd can get loose but you have more control.

Seriously, get better tires. The stock Goodyears are mostly to blame, they get no traction at all; after I installed my shift kit, servos, & tune my SS would bark all four into 2nd under favorable conditions. I've also jumped from a dead stop at a traffic light on wet pavement and nearly slid sideways into the car next to me (scared the holy piss out of him )! I bought a set of Pirellis and the traction is far superior, it is much more difficult to break traction. Mr. P.

MozeSS523 Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 On my way home this week one evening I was accelerating from 25mph -65mph in the rain and began to hydroplane. I was not at WOT but very close to it when the rear of the truck started to slide loose at 60mph, I just took my foot off the gas and prepared to go off the road in to trees. Then truck straightened out and I drove home slowly to go change my underwear. Its an 03 so it has awd, which made me think it was the tires that have 45k on them. Maybe less I bought the truck with 24k on it, and could not tell if the previous owner put new tires on it (doubt it). There is a complete tread pattern its just not as thick as it use to be and tire pressure is great. So How do you guys decide when it is time for new tires?

04CHASE Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 the other day i was taking off from a signal and a titan thought he woul dtry me as soon as he hit it i did too and got all four loose and started to get sideways( this was on a nice perfect dry night). i have never driven it in the rain with the blower. i bet it would be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorpion ATR, Scorpion STR or something else? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
