Did a burnout today

<<<<<<——- this vet has NEVER done it. But I own my equipment, so I’m extremely easy on it. Was you on a…… what you call those transmissions…… “Auto” I think is the word….

 

I couldn't bump a dock if my life depended on it. This discussion though came up the other day. Wonder how many thrust washers hit the oil pan while slipping a clutch against a dock.

Nothing against @Nahbrown either. I'm sure you're doing better than the majority. On your own yet?

 

Always fun when transmissions go into clutch protect mode and take off. Or Detroit’s DT12 refusing to acknowledge the brake pedal if you’re spinning on uneven gravel

 

I question your description of "a little gas" and "tires made a nice screaching sound". You can feather the brake to keep from going backward while still pushing a bit to not have whatever transmission you have completely cut out. If it's an auto (I'm assuming yes) does it move with no throttle?

Word of caution. The internet isn't a private place, so I hope your boss doesn't know your online identity. This is an overall dumb thing to have done. Take it easy.

 

Don't make a habit of it. Real easy twist off an axle or driveshaft, especially with highway specs.

 

Lock in your axels next time

 

I call those types of transmissions “select-O-matics” like the old cars that had the push button selectors for the transmissions

 

I would probably say “one foot on the gas and one on the brake” is the way to go.

 

they call it bumping a dock for a reason lol i was never good at it either.. luckily flatbed doesnt hit to many docks
