Light 'em up
I haven't ever driven a truck with the V10 motor yet but i'm 99% certain i'm buying a 2000 or 2001 when i graduate basic training. I was just wondering on an automatic transmission if you can light up the tires or if there's a sensor that prevents that and if there is a sensor how hard is it to remove that? Thanks

Mine will smoke all four in high range with stock tires. Won't for long though. They grab at abought 25 mph.

Mine will only chirp the stock rear tires. The only time it really spins them is on wet road. I think mine wont smoke em because its an ext. cab long bed with 3.73's. (pulls like an sob when you nail it though, just doesnt burn em )

I have a SC SB 4x4 and I can sometimes spin the tires from a dead start. With just a little bit of power-braking I can get both spinning all the way up into 2nd gear.
Auto... I also have a cap on the bed. Without the cap, well, lets just say it's REAL easy to get sideways on dry pavement.
Oh, and 235/85R16's... I expect to have more of a problem when I switch to 265/75R16's

Kind Of
Bleach works very well for making tires smoke, that's what they used to use in the movies but nowdays they have a special formula because bleach made the tires get so hot they'd often start on fire. If you're paying for an F250 with the V10 motor in it i don't think you really want to have big ***** of fire attached to the rear axle, it's kind of close to the gas tank which isn't a good situation

gosh darnn! I am just more and more wanting to get a V10. I could've afforded one if I didn't get the Explorer, but the insurance was waaay to high for my age group. Then again, usually the more power, the more at risk for accident
