Open differential
basic all terrain tires
a heavy foot and little driving experience
He may have LT headers (he's thinking about getting them) later on.

What do you all think would happen?
This is why we are thinking he will spin, alot of power,all terrain tires, open diff with a heavy foot and little driving experience only equal one thing, one tire fire.

ok never beat by a truck... in a town of 7000 where people think their daddy's jacked up diesel with just an intake and exhaust is the fastest thing in the county. i know mods are addicting. that's why i'm getting the duramax. i still need this truck to do stuff. i can go mudding and pull back on the black top and still be decently quick, at least back home. i'm gonna make my next truck the dedicated street only race car. it's either that or put the duramax off for about two years, get a 6.0, cam it, built tranny, then stroke it, the list goes on man. you wanted me to get a dedicated asphalt racer, so that's what i'm doing.
