stock lays rubber?
I've read a couple of posts here that mention laying rubber with their diesels. My stock 'o6 6.0 3.73 has lots of power but my tires never break traction. Do I call BS or assume they're using a mod?

Probably depends on your tires and gearing...
I have 3.73 and 20's and I could never break traction unless it was raining out.
NOW... w/ the edge programmer... I have to put it in 4wheel to keep the tires from spinning.

My 06 has spun the tires a few times from a dead stop, but its hard because the turbo takes to long to build boost. Now if you powerbrake it, forget spinning the tires, you just roast them. Add sct on the race tune and now your talking 100ft stretches with ease. I love the 6.0

My dually could break'em loose by power braking with the stock Conti's, but with the 35" soft rubbered Super Swamper's on there now, they just stick and my head gets slapped against the headrest.

I have done dry-pavement donouts in a parking lot. Step on the brake, boost up to 20psi and let the fun begin. I have only done this once and I don't intend on doing it again. But I had to know if I could do it. I also love teaching the rice burners what a diesel can do...nothing like blowing black smoke in their face!

off topic here, I don't know much about the 6.0 since i dont have one, im a 7.3 guy, But I always here how the 6.0 has turbo lag and it's horrible. I thought that vgt turbo was supposed to make turbo lag a thing of the past?

Yay! I learn some of the coolest stuff from y'all. You can bet I'll give 'er a go next time I'm out. Would love to burn up a riceburner behind me. Especially if he's booming me on the stereo.
