Now I understand. We used to call it "power braking". I had a 58 Chev Impala with a 348 that would just blow tires away. Made lots of smoke and noise and it was fun. I gave it up after replacing just about everything on the car. I really can't believe a Ranger could compare to that, but if you are going to torque brake, get a second job to pay for the repairs! Your Dad.

hahah yeah it's so fun, and i really do doubt that my ranger could compare to a 348 altho it probably could compare to most chevs
yeah lol i pretty much learned the hard way that i hsould give it up, yeah i wrote this article yesterday and i did a nice long donut brake torque (brake torque then do a circle) when i tore off 1 2 foot long chunk of tread lol

Ford offers limited slip; many people including myself have it. All you have to do is specify it when you buy a truck.
