There is really no reason out side of saying that you can or did do a burnout to do one. A burnout is designed to heat racing rubber compounds which contain what are called oils and bring them to the surface of the tire to gain traction, even then this is really only effective on tracks that have be prepared with traction compound and by many racing tires also laying sticky rubber down on the surface.
But if you must do a burnout, you need to put a line lock in the front brake lines so you can lock the front brakes while the rear brakes remain off. Press on the brakes hard, press a switch and it locks the front brakes. Then hamer down on the throttle and I am pretty sure you will get some smoke, and more than likly broke parts as well, being that the suspention isn't setup to deal with this type of application of power, likely you will endup with tire hop do to spring wrap-up. Try www.summitracing.com for straters they have more than one style of line lock I am sure.

Thanks for the advice Larry Heath and FOrdFOreve. But I have another question. On this same truck I was wanting to put a dual exhaust system and i know that this will help improve gas mileageand hp on gas trucks but will it work for diesel trucks???

Unlike on a gasser, your two exhaust manifolds meet into one exhaust at the turbo. So putting a dual exhaust after the turbo will do nothing compared to a proper sized single on a turbo charged engine. If you want a good sounding and good flowing exhaust on a PSD go with a straight 4" pipe. The straight pipe is kinda loud for some people but most like it. The duals you see on a PSD are only for looks not performance. So if you must have duals just install a wye before the "over the axle" pipe and run the second pipe where you want.
PS. A stock 96 certainly will do a nice burn out. Even if it was for no particularly good reason other than to prove to my son that his old man still had it in him.
