Question Noob questions

What is power brake to build boost? How do you do it? Any side-effects?

Thanks,
FordGuy

With your PSD running and the truck stopped, push on the brake pedal, then apply throttle until the boost builds up, then release the brakes and floor the throttle. Depending on how much throttle you gave it and how much boost the turbo built up, you'll either launch hard or spin the tire(s). That's a Power Brake.

Side effects could be quickly worn rear tires, a hotter than normal transmission, possibly burnt trans fluid if it's done excessively, or a ticket from your local constable on patrol.

You can stick your truck in 4x4 high if you have automatic 4x4 control and do the power boosting.You will be shot off the line........... and it is awesome!
