I drive a 99 Ext. Cab Silverado. 5.3 with a hypertech power programmer put on it with a cold air intake system. I tried doing a burnout the other day and it wouldnt do ****.When i held the break in and floored the gas it didnt do anything. I have pretty much brand new brakes on it, could it be where I have air in the brakes.. I know this is a stupid question but could u help me out lol.

You were holding the brake too hard. Only press hard enough to keep truck from moving and still let rear tires spin>

Your truck should have enough power to just stomp on the gas without holding the brakes to spin out. But then again if its and automatic who knows those are a waste of time

1 It's a pick up truck.
2 Putting on the brakes is going to stop the wheels.. so no wheel spin..the brakes are on.
3 Traction control?? It will not let the truck loose traction.
That help?

Your going to burn the trans up doing that if it won't light the tires up by just nailing it than it has issues.You have to have a lot of hp to over power those brakes, Do you have positraction rear an disk brakes, than it never will>>?

the EMC is not letting it do the burnout.had the same truck and it wouldn't do a brake torque but would melt the tires from just stomping the gas to to it.

If it`s 4 wheel disc, highly unlikely. Why do you need to do a burn out in the first place? Got lots of money to burn? Or is it just a way to impress your friends. Wonder who will be impressed when something breaks.
