    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    Update: so I just got the truck back from the tune shop. I've been having issues since I bought the truck. The tuner said as soon as you were on the gas the truck went into boost so it made for a horrible shift experience. On the way home and on the interstate. I did one quick run up to 120 mph...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    To the best of my knowledge they have all been E. I've had them on at least 3 trucks. This one had them and they were already half worn when I got the truck. When it rains here in Texas all the oils come out within the first few minutes and are like driving on ice. I've lived in many states and...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    If I could get the KO2s to last longer than half worn in the rain I would keep buying them, but diving safely in the rain at low speeds is more important to me than a few seconds once in a while at high speed. There has to be another tire. If not, than I need a better alternative. I've been...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    Yea right around 100. They are stock size... 315 70 17. I can't find a tire with a higher rating and these tires are hybrid. I wanted something more highway with occasional off road for dirt and loose gravel. I'm open to suggestions though

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    No, just the rear swaying when I accelerate quickly around 100mph. No death wobble. I set the front shocks to mid perch to try to level. OK so more in the front. I can try that next.

    That would be nice but I'm not drop 10s of thousands of dollars into this truck. I wish

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    I lowered the tire pressure down to 36 psi...although a little better/more stable up to 100mph once I reach 100 it starts to sway again so there was no point in going faster than that. Maybe I should ask what everyone has their pressure set at in their tires?? Those that are supercharged...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    I brought it to my mechanic and had him look at the suspension after telling him my issue, and everything looked good. I just don't get why most all the other supercharged trucks like mine don't have any issues when they have the same suspension

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    Ok, I may look more into them as next purchases. This would be a great test. I will have to try it. I don't think it's the only issue if it is at all though since the problem has existed since I've owned it. I bought it after the supercharger was put on, and I'm still weeding out some other non...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    Yea I'm beginning to think this as well, how low should I go? 35, and how low is too low? An off road traction bar setup makes sense, and now I can see a difference. Right now that's more money than I can to spend right now since I need many other things. I have ridge grapplers, but I plan to...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    Yes I replaced front and rear shocks. I bought caltrac traction bars but the suspension travel was bad so I took them off. Since then I replaced leaf springs with deavers +2. Should I put them back on with new deavers? Will shackles and rear sway bar fix my issue? I lowered the tire pressure...

    Stopping rear end sway under hard acceleration

    I have a 2014 with a whipple supercharger I need help figuring out a way to stop the rear swaying. Whenever I accelerate hard the rear sways to an almost fish tale and when you are already going 100+ it is scarey. I replaced the shocks last year, back to stock, and I installed deaver springs...

    Yea, Texas is crazy that way, but I also think it is the people/generation that are driving nowadays that are crazy.

    GEN 1 Rear Differential Whine on 2014

    Well I honestly had no clue about the capabilities when I decided to play with the first vette. I'm pretty sure we were both surprised. He was probably pissed and surprised at the same time though..lmao. Stang seem pretty easy. I haven't come across a dodge of any kind that wanted to race. I...

    Expect it to get louder over time. I'm still driving it like as I normally would. I don't know how to drive a supercharged anything like a responsible adult. Corvettes around me are seeing just how fast this thing is. So many vettes around here it's insane. I haven't been up against a new...

    GEN 1 Rear Differential Whine on 2014

    Perfect, That's what I wanted to get straightened out. Than I might as well stay with what I have since it is also the family car;-) Although I surprised a vette the other day and stayed with him and started to walk away before we ran into traffic. Man that was awesome! These trucks are amazing...

    Ok, than I need to pick your brain since you are SC. Do you have oversized tires? Mine are stock size and plan to keep it at this size for foreseeable future. I ask because I am trying to figure out if I should change the gear ratio while I'm in there? I assume I am stock at 4.11 or 4.10...

    I am going to go with the transmission shop that I found yesterday. I called them again and spoke to the owner who is the main mechanic there and we basically diagnosed it as we talked. Granted we don't know what the inside looks like so when it is opened up it could also need the R&P, but it is...

    Yea I am tempted to just keep driving it like this after the quote I just got and I know it is a hell no I'll pass kind of quote. The Diesel shop I mentioned above told me $2600 and change to change everything. So now I am scrambling around to find a second more down to earth option. At this...

    Yea, I can keep everyone posted. I found a Diesel shop down the road that does rear ends. I lucked out. However, they are still 3 weeks out. I'm going to go with them since I know they are doing well over there and are literally down the road. I'm trying to get them to get back to me on a rough...
