Ok let me throw something out here. You said you raced right after leaving work. There are computer controlled safety systems in these trucks. Meaning the ecu will not give you full power until the oil reaches a certain temperature. I had a sports car before my trucks and I know for a fact it had this. Right before I bought my Rams I had a friend crank his Ram up right after work and tried to do a burn out. The truck would not break the tires and he was stumped. I told him about the feature and he said he tried a burnout later while heading home and it broke free easy.
So maybe try and race him when you know the oil is at running temperature. Just a crazy idea.
Makes sense to me. I've noticed the first time I start it up for the day and leave, it feels like the tranny has brain damage. But it clears up after a mile or two, so I figured it just needed to warm up or something. If that's the case, it'll probably really suck when winter officially hits. Maybe those active shutters will make more sense then...
