The traction control switch doesn't turn it all the way off....you need a tuner for that.

My buddy discovered this in he Charger R/T. He can do burn outs but as soon as he tries to spin a doughnut the is a wheel spin sensor that kick the traction control back on.

I can do a doughnut but as soon as I counter steer into it to either change my circle or rotation it kicks in the stability control and straightens the truck, I have the limited slip also. I suppose I should just leave whipping ****ties for the mustang but when I see an empty parking lot and the kids are in the back goading me into it it's hard not to.

I can't do a burnout in my stock 2013. I can hit every dang button on the dash, hold the brake and floor the gas. It just bogs and no wheel spin. In the rain, yeah. Dry asphalt, nope. Curious as to why others can and I can't.

lol that's funny I got a 2012 ram 2500 hemi and was dropping off my car in my warehouse and decided to to see if it would spin them. and sure enough I filled the whole 1800 SQ FT warehouse with smoke and left about 5 foot a trail marks before I let off. and I believe my truck is all stock. no CIA, exhaust, etc. have no reason to believe it has had a tuner plugged into. but id like to get one along with the other goodies.

Mine wouldn't either........

I'm rockin' a custom tune, and that livened things up, but the swap to an Edge 2800 stall..lol - even with my 34s....I can burn 'em off from a roll.

I couldn't rip them in my '13 Big Horn and it was embarassing. I brought it in one day last month for some recall ABS tune, and there were 13 programming updates that were due on mine. After they updated those (PCM, ABS, TCS, radio, etc), I was able to burn em easily.

I just spent a bunch of money so I WON'T burn out as much! Lol!

My truck would one-wheel-peel half a city block with my 3.55 and open diff. :( Now with LSD the burn outs are more "reasonable", and I still get a nice big chirp into second! ;)

It took a tuner, CAI, T-Stat, true duals exhaust before I could smoke my tires. Trust me I was more than upset when I bought a R/T and it wouldn't even chirp the tires and barley power break.
But after making it breath better and being able to disable the traction control, well I'm on my 3rd set of tires at 27k miles...

It wasn't until I dropped mine and up graded the tires and suspension that I started hooking up again.

What about wheel hop? Figure being 4 link it'd be better, but I've noticed some pretty good wheel hop a time or two.

No wheel hope at all. My tires slip a little, hook and go. BFG KDW's I can't say enough good things about those tires....

Awh, we are tire buddies.

I definitely agree though. I don't understand how people say they don't hook.... I didn't even have issues with them hooking on my 03 cobra.

Too bad they are discontinued.

Yeah I would always have to wipe off the rocks and dirt after a cruise. German shepherd? Even if not, nice.

My current kid is deaf, so can't have him trained that way. But if he sees you and doesn't know you... world of hurt, assuming one of his parents aren't around. His smell and sense of vibrations pretty much make up for being deaf. He's a big baby if he knows you though.

Rottie

His 7 months and 80 pounds. Bought him to give my wife a little notice so she can get to her Springfield 1911 if needed.
