Ive never launch a automatic before. So Im alittle unclear how to do. I want to take the truck down and run it the way it sits before i start doing other stuff to it.

hold the brake w/ the left foot and press the pedal to build boost.... Build about 10lbs then let go of the brake and press the pedal to the floor at the same time.

do yourself a favor and put a good cooler on it. trannys dont like to sit and build boost for too long.

this might sound stupid but I quess you have to build like more then 20psi before the wheels would start spinning when your holding the brake. and thanks for the help guys

what part of maryland are most of you guys from. I know i sound like a dumbass with this stuff. Ive just never ran a auto and Im still learning about the diesels. Ive got 2 imports and the truck is just so much more fun to me.
