I don't plan on selling it.

Seriously though, it's not too hard on anything other than the tires and rear brakes (which will be replaced soon too).

You could make more smoke by squirting brake fluid down the intake.

That's 4 minutes I'd like to have back, ignorant use of a good tool, treats his tool like a toy, immature.

Read, follow, and understand the proper use of your tools by reading the owner's manual.

You clearly have little technical or mechanical knowledge of vehicles

I gotta agree with these guys............What you do with your rig is your own business, but post a video of what most of us folks consider abusing your ride here, and you will hear about it. Nobody is trying to jump down your throat or slam you for it........more like friendly advise that it might not be the smartest thing to do........I do not think you would like some potential buyer far down the road to see that video.

I think you will find things MUCH more conservative and mature here on FTE than say, TRS or Pirate.

And by the way, Welcome to FTE!!

Welcome to FTE! By the way, besides being hard on your brakes and tires, doing a lot of burnouts like you did in the video will seriously hurt your transmission.

Umm, driving like that is hard on the WHOLE truck really. Ball joints, tie rods, u-joints, axles, engine... Tough trucks & probably shouldn't break soon enough to link fun back to cause & effect, but still factors in. Just don't dare try that level on a mini non-Ford truck!
