Better Tune on the Lincoln?

I have a coworker that says his 4x4 Mark LT will spin the tires on pavement. Even happens if he doesnt try to do it as in a turning situation.

Anyone have any info on this? My 06 wont chirp from a dead stop. I have to work very hard to make anything happen while accelerating from a standing turn.

I am wondering if the lincoln has less of the torwque management than the 150.

Not being able to make your tires slip is what you want. tires that slip rob performance and tear things up. If your drive train is properly matched to your engine you should have very little or no slip at the rear wheels when taking off, ecen if you try to make them squeal.

Maybe he has an open differential? When I first got my truck the tires rarely slipped, but as time went on and the LS clutch packs started to wear out I found the tires squealing more and more on accelerating during a turn from a dead stop.
