- 5.7 hemi
I've had my 07 quad cab 4x4 hemi for about 6 weeks now. As a "mature" driver (late in my 6th decade - I tend to be a rather conservative driver most of the time. However - when I want the dog to bark - I want it to BARK!!! (Old Detroit street racer from the 60s
So my question is this - should my truck be able to turn over the tires from a dead stop (not brake torqueing it)??? Additional info....
- 18k - no, haven't had any maintenance done on it yet. However, the engine sounds fine, and there are absolutely no pauses or hesitations felt in hard acceleration. (Not a bad growl from the single pipe exhaust, either
- Have reset TB and pcm.
- I think she has something in the range of a 3.93 rear end.
- She's a gas ***** (as expected - about 8-10 around town driving her easy. OTOH - about 17 on the road with no tonneau on yet.
- running Goodyear street tires - 275/60R20s with a good amount of tread left.
- She'll obviously turn em over on a wet day or with some sand or other material at the stop - but not on good, clean concrete or asphalt.
FWIW - I'm not that much of a wrench, plus most tools are now in storage as I'm in the process of moving. So - any home wrenching/tweaks are pretty much a no go at the moment.
I'm simply wondering "what she should do"???
