I bet it does.

My Excursion could not spin the tires on stock tune with the 37" tires even with all my mods. When I switched to the +300hp Insanity tune, I could roast all 4 in 4wd. TM sucks. I hate it.

My hair's easy to fix. It's called the Cold Water Challenge. It goes around every spring. When you get tagged, you have 24 hours to complete the challenge and donate $10 to the NFFF, or you have to donate $100.
