TowRig.com - Diesel Discussion and Tow Tech

Ok so I ain't never smoked the tires yet. I am on deck to getting a new set..so I said Self, Smoke thease suckers before you replace them:doah: waytogo

I assume hold the brake and climb up the RPM...So what does that do to the rear brakes? Heat um up a bit I would guess?
Is there a 'right way' to do a brake stand with a diesel truck?
So thoes who have actually done this ...do tell :popcorn: waytogo :popcorn:

Left foot on brake, right foot firmly sandwiching pedal between foot and floor. Once they're spinning, regulate speed with left foot, RPMs with right foot. The dmax will probably start shifting gears if you leave the pedal to the metal.rotfl If you really want to do it right, put tire chocks in front of the front tires, once the rears are spinning they won't have enough traction to get the fronts to jump the chocks, that way you don't have to keep your foot on the brake. I think that's how they do it in burn out contests. That should get it done.:D Make sure you get video.waytogo

I don't know if your truck has traction control, but those systems can mess with doing proper brakestands. burnout

Cool, thanks Shaggwaytogo
Should be interesting to try anyway..guess I'll find out hehehheeburnout burnout burnout burnout burnout burnout burnout burnout burnout burnout

My truck doesnt have the power of the D-max but so I have to do this:

0) Make sure truck is in 2-hi ( unless in snow:D )

1) put left foot on brake

2) shift to 1st gear (not required but keeps truck from upshifting)

2.5) have videographer start rolling tape

3) lay the Go pedal DEEP into the carpet

4) Spool turbo up to max boost

5) take a little pressure off of brake to move truck foward ~10 feet

6) apply more pressure to brake pedal to stop truck

7) moving the truck foward gets the back tires to turn and then when you stop the truck the tires are already spinning so they start to spin faster and make smoke and yummy smells:D

8) have photographer snap pics like crazy!!

9) bake the tires like crazy!!! burnout

10) when satisfied stop truck and go and admire your artwork:cool:

11) try to keep from wetting your pants from all of the laughing that you and your audience will be doing.

12) wipe silly grin off of your face before you get home and the wife gets suspicious ("why do you need new tires on your brand new truck Joe??"):o ("uhhhhhhh you look great dear!!")

There is my technique for doing a proper burnout.

Want me to write an article Steve???:pimp:

Want me to write an article Steve???
I think you just did.

Burt, call me - I'll video it! :D

Why you guys use the brakes? ;)

haha if I had a D-Max I wouldnt need to!!! burnout

My 12v does brakestands just fine, even totally stock. Just mash the brake pedal and roll on the throttle. It takes a good 7 or 8 seconds to build the required boost, but after that, game on! My rear tires prolly have half the tread of the fronts, mostly do to brake stands. :doah:rotflI did one awhile back at work, accross the street and down the road a bit- prolly 100yards from the shop. Co-worker was inside at the back of the shop balancing driveshaft, and said all he could hear was a really loud whistling noise, couldn't hear the tires or the engine, just the whistling of the turbo. Sweet music to my ears. :D


BTW Steve- If you do this and don't get video, you'll never be forgiven. :cool:waytogorotfl

Try it with a dually. OMG talk about SMOKE!waytogo

haha Thanks guys.
Sounds like fun...hmm maybe in my work parking lot hahahaha no maybe not:doah:

I wonder what everyone's transmissions have to say about all the double pedal pushing....:eek: :D

What is a double depal pushing?:confused:

:doah: You have to push the brake AND the gas.......:doah:

Burts got an Allison, it Loves to be flogged!!:stir:

So depal is suppose to be pedal...I thought my pelling was bad hahaha:stir:

Flogged? What is that?:doah:

burnout burnout burnout rotfl rotfl rotfl

You have to hold the gas and brake with the right then let up the clutch with the left while moving the left to the brake while increasing the go pedal then hammer down:D . You guy' with the auto's have got it made.rotfl

"Brake stands" or "stalled launches" or several other terms are used to refer to that technique. And yes, it is very hard on a transmission, even an Allison. I've only done it a couple times (as in 2) combined with 4 wheel drive launches just to show out a bit (ever seen a 7500lb crew cab do a 4 wheel burn out?) but it scares me. I've got something like 30k miles with the Edge/Attitude mostly on "level 4" (of 5) and so far the Allis still holds up. Still got my eye on an ATS upgrade eventually as soon as my luck improves enough that I can save some money and commit to getting it done...

Oops...:eek: :D

You stand on the brakes so you can put a large enough load against the engine to build boost. Most engines the amount of fuel injected is based on how much boost you have built. Your converter has a stall speed. Mine is 2100 on the stick converter. So my engine will run up to 2100 rpms and stop. The turbo continues building boost until it maxes out. Whe you release the brakes your engine is at 2100 rpms making 20 lbs of boost and in the case of my video, about 400+hp. Real easy for the tires to say "no thanks!"
Just use the brakes to keep the back tires from pushing you down the road!

1) Set "hot" Juice on level "5".

2) Mash in clutch pedal and select gear number 3 on yer manual trans.

3) Bring RPM's up to around 1500.

4) Let the clutch out rapidly while at the same time stuffing the skinny pedal to about 3/4 throttle.

5) Apply just a slight bit of brake pressure with the left foot while trying to keep the engine off the governor with the right. (sometimes easier said than done.)

6) Look in the rear-view at the wonderful sight of white tire smoke mixing with black diesel smoke.

7) Take a trip around the block to let the smoke clear and admire your handiwork!waytogo

rev it to about 1500-1800, drop the brake and let her roll for about 3 feet back on the brake hold her at 2100 till i decide to quit. (take that assh*le in the mustang behind me;) )

i think an important part of all of this MAY have been missed... a little bit of bleach on the tires helps everything go more smooth, and make s a LOT more smoke...

ok now lets see the video lol

yeah anybody can do a burnout with some bleach, but its cooler on dry pavement

didnt mean to do that ^ but it ended up looking cooler

just use enough for some extra smoke. not enough to saturate the tires. just about an ounce on each tire or so.
