power braking
ok a buddy of mine has a 06 f350 crew cab dual rear wheel king ranch PSD...any ways he seems to like to power brake it....what are the negatives to this besides having to replace the rear pads and rotors?

How about simply looking like a jackass? Tickets from your friendly neighborhood constabulary for exhibition of acceleration? If you end up wrecking out and killing someone, a witness says you were drag racing/showing off and bingo, you get charged with vehicular assault/vehicular homicide? Tires, brakes, rear diff, transmission, driveshaft, etc.?
So, why does your buddy want to do this again?

6L PWR - Good... the strip is a great place for such behavior, if you like treating your truck that way. Not for me, but, different strokes and all.
