Hi y'all Im considering installing a line lock on my tahoe to do some burnouts with a ***** pair of tires. Couple of questions:

Would it be easier to install it to the front or rear? Im okay with either setup as it kind of ends up doing the same thing for me either way.

Do I need to install it after the ABS pump to insure no problems with the ABS system?

What are the stock brake line fitting size at the MC and the ABS pump?

Thank you!

It always goes on the front.
Ok thank you, but wouldnt front or rear work? For front you press brake and lock and for rear you lock then press the brakes when doing the burnout? do you think I should mount at the MC or after the abs pump?

This American attitude will be a mystery to me until i leave this world.

How can someone do this to a good car like a gmt820 which is an american legend, to an American cultural asset and one of the last good cars in this period. There won't be anything like that in the future, there's just this over electrified disposable cars, that doesn't last 120,000 miles and can then be thrown away, cause those cars are consequently developt that they are not fixable.

Why does someone destroy his money in tires, damage the environment with abrasion and pointlessly burned fuel, for no reason?

And what's the fun in doing this?

Me as a limited German will never understand that. :oops:

I would never ruin my good new tires, I have a friend who may have a ***** set he can sell me cheap.

To apply power to your front wheels, you would need your transfer case to be in 4WD. In 2WD or 4WD, your rear driveshaft will ALWAYS be rotating in your model year.

You are doing this with a 4x4? You never did say, that I can see.

In this case, as @nonickatall said, why the efff would you want to do this? C'mon man! Grow up....Or as @rockola1971 said, proof of said burnout and pics of tickets.

As we saw recently in Austin, TX., burnouts are not cool, IMO, and a waste of materials and equipment and may result in someone getting hurt.

You want to spin tires? Do something really fun and build yourself a Mud Run rig like an old square body. Now that is fun!!!!!!!

I am going to ask an as yet asked question.....your age?

My question is why it can't do it now, they'll do it without a line lock.

For the record I don't burn the tires off mine but I did try it so I know the sun wil do it. I have a obs truck for that

Its a free country Gentlemen. We get to do what we want to do, and that should be cherished, always. If someone wants to do burnouts, then do it, but don't hurt others in the process.

Some folks may consider pushing the cloverleaf tests to the absolute limit, as @OR VietVet and I do, as absolutely crazy, but we're free to do it.

One man's pleasure might be another man's displeasure/disgust.

It wont do it right now unless I'm in like wet gravel. Wont let me rev past 2k and the tires just skid instead of full spinning.

I have a totally clean driving record as of now lmao. Not one speeding ticket.
Tell ‘em!
Only posers get caught

My buddy said he don’t know how I don’t get locked up the way I drive my truck
Yes it’s a crew cab and 4x4 and will cut doughnuts on a dime! 33s, 35s, big rims, it don’t matter
It’s the American way!
I will say I only do it when I’m about to get new tires put on because my rubber ain’t cheap!
However I’m about to pick up a set of “rollers” from a buddy to bolt on the back and go pop the tires one day

I remember in highschool before we could afford any motor work we would vise grip the rear break lines to do burnouts! That’s all fun until you blow a line and have no breaks! It was fun at the time though lol

Some of us just hate to see a GMT800 models treated that way.
Shoot I still take care of mine but ones for fun and taking trash/hauling and off-roading
Tahoes for Dailey driving
And the 97 obs is the project truck that’s going to be the cleanest and most taken care of out the 3 when I get done with it
