Default do I need better brakes??

went to the track last night and,

when trying to stall it up at the light my brakes wouldnt hold my truck it would move it forward?? causing me not able to stall my truck up what it is suppose to..... I would almost really gettin off my seat and pressing on the brakes as hard as I could and it would still move my truck forward...

by the way I have the TB stall in it, and next week I'll be installing a 3k stall in there but it might be worthless until I fix this one???

is it the brakes or what is the problem???

well with the 4.10's and built tranny your not going to beable to stall it as high off the line now, it will still flash to 2500 as before, you might beable to get it to 1500 before moving.

Yea, what he said, and also the 3000 should be looser, so you should be able to brake stall it higher. I bet you will still have to watch out for a big fat heavy *** 4wd too. Its fixin to start coming back around I believe.

nope just facts, with the 4.10's your low end is there off the bat, stall it to 1500 and let it flash to 2500, if you go with a 3000 then it should stall close to 2500 i believe maybe and maybe not, good luck.

sslow 4.8 was having this same problem not being able to stall up much past like 1800 I think. We were thinking it might be the brakes as well but v8's explanation makes sense.

Kevin is right. With my TCI 3K in my truck it would brake stall to like 2800 but if I flashed it, it owuld go a little over 3K. The 3K will go a long ways to making your truck come out of the hole better. I think your tb is too small too for an ecsb and a the tr220. No more ticking anymore right?

without a trans-brake, you wont see much above 2000 on any stall.
