Default 2wd times suck!!!!

I went to the track tonight to see what my truck could do, since my truck wont shift into 4wd anymore. I air down to 25 psi. The best time I got was a 14.5 at 92. My 60's were 2.1 w/ wheel spin. I guess the 4wd make a big difference. Any ideals to help me go faster???

2.1 is about as good as you can do on street tires. Get a set of slicks or some drag radials and it will be much better.

Sounds like a crappy track prep or just too hard of a tire. I've pulled low 2.0's with 245/70R17 on an ex-cab truck. That was with a mild burnout and no dry hop leaving off idle.

The actuator the engauges and disengauges the 4wd is broke. Its 200 from wreaking yard and 465 at the dealer, but I get a great deal at the dealer (10% above what they pay) and 650 retail.
I am running 285/50/r20 tires

Hell i pulled a 1.97 60' on 20s. you can decently hook on street tires, but its a hit or miss kinda deal.
