Get us a video of the police giving the ticket when they see you do it. Ha ha, been there done that. I always looked at it as earning the ticket,not having it gave to me.

 

I did mean first. With tall grippy tires, 3.50 gears, you need all the gear multiplication you can get. It takes torque to get em spinning then rpm to keep em' going.
Or 500 horses to the rear wheels and you can do it in 3rd.
And instead of water use milk with food coloring in it.
A red, white and blue smoke show should impress em'.

 

Ya burnouts were for impressing your friends, not the ladies.

 

Your just going to destroy your truck. As the others have said, you want to do burn outs go get something more suited. further more the girls are not going to be impressed with you doing a burn out in an old truck. I found it is better to be a smooth talker, or a good looker, so you need to guess which you are and start promoting that. Destroying your truck in front of everyone is just going to make you look like a dork.

 

Girls / women will not be impressed unless they are drag racers , then they will want to race you for your truck title, L.O.L.--

 

For the best burnout you need to be in reverse then rev to 5k for atleast 10 seconds then dump the clutch and hold brake and throttle as hard as you can! Don't forget to video!

 

Then go back and pick up the pieces of your truck laying on the ground.

 

Haaaahaaaahaaaa to all you guys..... hilarious. 1. I'm aware there aren't too many girls that enjoy a nice burnout, but I'm looking for that one. 2. I've built the truck for hot ******* around and showing off, it's done it quite well in the past.

All I was wondering is where the sweet spot lies in my setup. I've tried all the gears, alot of different RPMs, and alot of different ways to let out the clutch. I do get alot of wheel hop, that seems to be the issue. Where there used to be a nice smooth burn, now it's chirp BANG chirp BANG chirp BANG. What's causing that, as opposed to a nice steady scream, in the exact same truck that used to do em great?

 

What causes the wheel hop is the rear leaf springs twisting! Your gonna need a good set of traction bars or cal tracs if ya wanna do a wicked burnout. Best way to get the wheels goin is to take the Rpms up to 2500 and dump the clutch and shift through the gears. But if you keep it up youll prolly drop the drive shaft, explode the clutch, break the input shaft on the trans or kill the rearend. I drag race and burnouts are very rough on the engine and rearend. But put a video up I always like watching burnouts.

 

I'm pretty sure you're truck isn't made to do burn outs, and I'm more sure that Henry Ford would be rolling in his grave if he knew what you are attempting and I am POSITIVE that no girl will be impressed with you ruining your classic truck to gain her affection no matter how much hair she has on her chest. Please sell your truck to someone who will appreciate it and not ruin it trying to be an idiot. Go buy a chebby and impress the dumb girls. Your almost 40 year old truck doesn't deserve the death it will receive by some teenage moron, and do us all a favor and spare your truck the torture and just drive it off a cliff for us, and atleast it will die an honorable death and erase the moron with it........

 

It's his truck. If he wants to blow it up let him. He'll learn.

 

X2 I noticed the OPs user name . . . .

 

 

Wow, this place has gotten weird.....

Teenage moron? I'm a 21 year old Cornell student. I weld in my off time and it's my work truck, and I can't afford to insure another vehicle, so it's my fun car too. I'm aware I'm doing damage..... I've put in 4 engines.

I want a driver, and a driver in my eyes is something I can beat the p!ss out of when I want to. They made millions of these trucks, and mine's no gem. I did however save it from the scrapper when I originally bought it, and with each MASSIVE repair I've done since, so don't lecture me on wasting history.

What's your problem? What happened to hotrodders that actually like to drive? Smoke a J n relax, you're in California......

 

So you can't afford to insure another vehicle, but you can destroy your only vehicle that you have already put 4 engines in... And are you paying for Cornell tuition? What are you majoring in? Not any engineering I hope... Maybe liberal arts, you seem like you would make a good English teacher. And let me guess you never had a real girlfriend in high school so now that you are at college its your chance to impress some girls, just fyi if they are attending Cornell they probably won't be impressed with 21 year old moron trying to do a burnout in a 30+ year old truck... You might actually try talking to them... And I don't know about 21 year old moron college students that go to Cornell but I don't smoke. I also don't need to chill out since I'm not the one trying to burnout to impress girls. I'm married to a beautiful woman and I never burned out to impress her. Maybe you should smoke a job and chill out then decide if punishing your truck is the proper way to attractive a female....

Good luck my friend don't forget to post a video and try to capture the females reaction as well as the destruction of your truck...
