    You don't want to know...

    I know how to turn off VSC... and white smoke tires.

    It just doesn't quite have the power to brake the back tires without over coming the front brakes... With the brakes applied its either enough brake pressure to completely bog down the engine, or less brake and rolling forward with only slight rear tire spin.

    I think the brakes apply a little different on the off roads. It has always felt a little heavy on the rear brakes.

    I'm thinking if I was on asphalt, I might have better luck. Wet pavement would be no contest...

    I have learned in 4low, the parking brake doesn't stand a chance... I keep taking of with parking brake on while off roading (If I'm on a incline, I don't let the weight of the truck sit on the transmission). In normal drive or 4 high, I have yet to accidentally take off with the parking brake on. It has tons of stopping power.

    It's ridiculious. Why even bother washing cars if it doesn't even clean the car lol
    Same thing happened to me on Thursday when my senior class had a trip to six flags. I kept drinking water but when it was time to go I had to run with my friends from the back of the park to the front then walk all the way to the buses only to see the buses were gonna be 30 minutes late, we had to wait out in the parking till they got there, I got real weak and couldnt stand on my own power and started offering people 10 bucks for their water. I got some sips :eek:

    That's Texas water for ya. I went to the new car wash we got here for free, and it left water spots everywhere. I usually wash it myself, and use a gallon jug of walmart spring water to remove the hard water spots.
