something i always wanted to try...

i see guys go about 40mph, then put the car in nuetral, rev it up real high then slam it back into drive and peel out. i always wanted to try it but was to afraid of screwing something up. would this do anything bad to my truck if i did it?

Why would you want to do that? It dumps a lot of load on the rest of the drive train all at once. Its a good way to hurt stuff. Just build a truck with ***** and you can do the same thing by just hitting the loud.

just get a 5.3 and you'll be able to do it with no problems <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

seriously though, thats bad for the trans. if you think these POS transmissions fall apart fast just from being driven hard try a few of those neutral drops

You are kidding right?

Anyway, I can get scratch sometimes by dropping into 1st around 35-38MPH but you have to be ready to slip it into 2nd fairly quickly. Works great for low mph races though <img src="https://ls1tech.com/threads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
