Does your truck slide left or right? Burnout

[Watchdog7]

Hey hey hey

When my tires break loose, wether on concrete or in dirt or in mud, my truck ALWAYS slides to the left.

Which direction does your truck slide to, and is it consistantly that direction? Like always left or always right?

Anybody have an answer for this?

No big deal, I'm just wondering why my truck slides to the left EVERY time.

Seems to stay pretty straight.

Mr. Pig, you're a show off. Ha! I do love your truck.

I don't know. My truck always goes to the left. I did have a video myself but I deleted it.

Anybody else?

Red and Thunder always swing the rear end out to the right. The only time I can get the Bronco to chirp is flogging it around a corner.

Hey Ben, does Red and Thunder have locking diffs?

Staright for me too... if it does go one way or the other it seems to be to the right. (LS rearend)

Only thing I have is LS in Red...and that's because that's the Ford factory LS that came in it. I've never owned anything that was locked.

Bill is it an open diff? If so you're only burning out with one tire which would explain the turning.

mine goes to the left.

oh... you are talking about trucks...

His sig says 4.11's with a locker...so I assume that it has a locker.

Whoops I should pay more attention... I wonder if he means an actual locker (as in an e-locker or air locker) or if it's LS. Because if it's stock LS and hasn't been rebuilt, chances are it's not working 100% anymore. He might be turning 1 tire at 100% and the other at 50%.

Hey guys, appreciate the time and attention and videos.

Nah, the truck has a real locker. Both tires turn and burn. Maybe only trucks with lockers slide. I know my dad's Elky does too (same locker and gears as me).

Here's a short one of dad's. I deleted my burnout.

If that doesn't work, try this.

Well then the only thing I can think of is that the front brakes are a little weaker on 1 side (assuming you're doing a brakestand).

The direction of the rotational force of the motor and driveline make it go that way.

My Ranger only breaks loose in turns, unless it's snowing like heck.

Then the tail almost always heads for the ditch (right) but I always assumed it was the crown of the road.

The '93 would change directions depending on which way I turned the wheel...

 

[flareside_thunder]

Mine swings to the right...I've got posi.

I should have added "I think" to that.... I'm not really positive, but it makes sense to me.

 

[Kevsha]

it all depends.... most roads naturaly have an arch to them, so in your lane on the road it will almost always begin to slide to the right. my truck will slide to the right when doing it.
