fishtailing???

[Voodoo]

well lately i have noticed my truck fishtailing (bigtime) when racing and i dont remember it ever being this bad, even threw third gear up till 80 it is still one hell of a ride. any ideals what i should be looking for under the truck?? it has never handled like this before.

Was this at the track or on the roads? On the streets I could imagine this happening. Tire pressure too low?

If you change it use 2 bottles of modifier!!!
Maybe your clutch plates are gone, friction modifier gave up the gost???

i am going to crawl under there in the morn to take a look, will give ya feedback if there is anything i can spot off the bat

 

[Wifey]

your tires are probably worn out - get a new set

 

[mauiSRT/10]

That would be 4.56 then. Must have been thinking about trainman or Uniboy then......one of you California dudes has em. Good luck finding the issue.


patrick

 

[Voodoo]

i think it is uniboy who has them

 

[FerrariTruck]

Personally I think its just a combination of worn out tires and more likely the cold weather. It doesnt take much to break the back end loose right now

 

[Voodoo]

u might be right dude, thinking about it now it has been at night when this has happened with less than a mile drive to warm up the tires. will drive it again about 10 miles then try it again and see what happens.

Mine does the same thing Voodoo when the tires are cold, especially on cold nights.:dontknow:
