I OWN A QUD CAB 4X4 3.92 GEARS 4.7V8 POSS.TRACK ANTI SPIN REAR END. THE TIRES WILL NOT SPIN BECAUSE IT HAS THE ANTI SPIN REAR END. IT WAS DONE AS AN OPTION FOR TRACTION AN SLICK SURFACES. SO SEE IF YOUR TRUCK WAS ORDERED WITH AN ANTI SPIN REAR END.

Well here's a big thing to consider-
The automatic tranny's eat up about 20% of the power, and the transfer case another 10% at most, so you are not gettign as much power to the rear wheels as a 2wd 'dak. I drive a 01 QC 'dak with 3.55's and can lay a one legged dog in any type of weather.

I have a 02 QC 4x4 with a 4.7 , 16 inch wheels and have NEVER been able to spin on dry pavement , I can mat it as hard as possible and it just launches , but if the ground is slightly wet it busts loose like nothing , I wish I could spin on dry land !

I have 2wd with 275 wide rear tires, caltracs, lsd and 392 gears. Automatic. Throw a pig in the back of the bed and you have yourself a hawaiian luau.

actually its not that bad on warm pavement. If the sun is beating on the blacktop all day and the tires are warm I only get about 10-15 of wheelspin. On dark cooler days I need to be a little more careful. Forget the rain though, that brings a whole new level of fun. :-)

Amen, my 318 in the 92 and in the 99 will roast em all day long. The 99 has an LSD too and 31x10.5's; CC 4x4. I picked the 99 when shopping used because it had the 318, sounds like I was right in avoiding the 4.7l. I had a feeling it was a car motor and not the truck motor the 318 is ;-) Keep the top end and gimme the low/mid power, ar ar ar :-)

I have a 97' Club Cab 4x4 5.2 5-speed Dakota, on dry pavement i can spin my 31x10.5s on accident. In rain i need my 4WD to pull into traffic. Even with a load I can roast them. Cut off the cat, adds power!

I just completed the crank sensor mod on Saturday, and I can spin both my tires at will. My truck is a 2K QC 4x4 with the 5.9L and 3.92 posi (or whatever Dodge calls it). While it took some effort prior to this mod, it really seems much easier now.
I also have 20" wheels with 295/45 Kumho tires.
