What year is the truck? I was under the impression these trucks had some kind of torque management in the first couple gears, keeping things a bit more tame. The reviews I've seen of the 20s are always mentioning tire spin through multiple gears. Maybe the pre 20s are more controlled. I would think that is something tuning could fix.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the stock programming have a torque management system? Meaning if you put your foot threw the grill, you actually only get half throttle power until 35/40 mph to protect the drive train. You can get a tune from 5 Star that will eliminate this, this giving you full power from the get go.( not to mention more horsepower and torque!)

What you have to understand is, these trucks were not made to "rip" the track. The were built to pull and carry heavy loads. I'm guessing you don't have a big trailer, or haul big loads. That's where this truck shines. It's called the right tool for the job. If you want to rip the tracks, get a Mustang GT. That'll light your fire.

These trucks have torque management, the 6.2 gas breaks the tires loose pretty easy in rain so if you got full diesel torque right away it would be fish tail central. Ford dumbs it down to protect the drivetrain and driver.
