So you're trying to do a burn out in 4wd with 35" tires in a Suburban with a locking rear differential? If that's the case you better think about some lower gears and a more powerful engine  :o

     I have often wondered the same thing about all the movies when in dirt they are screeching like burning out on pavement.   :o

It happens, BTDT. Hard pack mostly. It's still dirt, just as hard as concrete.  ;)

I typically dont attempt it in 4wd. I was in 4lo on my way out and tried to spin them when I got back on asphalt. Im usually in 2hi on the street when I have attempted to burnout.

OK, clear this up for me...it does at least spins the tires in 2hi or not? spinning them in 4lo can pose problems..namely running out of rpm too soon.

Pour some oil on the tires. She should spin and smoke good then ;)

My tires do not lose traction at all in 2HI.

Buy a new Challenger....with the Hemi... or a new transmission for the burb. It's slipping.

The trans was rebuilt a year ago, only about 4k miles. And it was gone threw about 3 or 4 months ago when I was having some issues with it. It is not a trans issue.
