Bro please listen to me I have a 2011 5.0 and I know what your issue is exactly my friend , you have traction control off yess … butttt you don’t have advance track off (stability control) what’s keeping you from really throwing it sideways and that’s why it’s wanting to grip up on you !!! Hit button till you see advance track off and I promise it will slide like absolute butter it’s insane the difference it will make you will be so happy with how it slides
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to try and help me out. Unfortunately for me, I did remember to turn that off. If you think of any else that may be an issue please hit me up. Thanks again.
Idk if you’ve figured it out yet, but in my 2007, it felt like a FWD when I first tried doing donuts. It was so bad, I embarrassed myself, but the second I clutch kicked and adjusted the way I swung it, it was night and day difference. So here is what I would suggest: Turn Advanced Trac off first by holding the TC button for 7-10 seconds at a full stop in neutral. Then start moving slowly at around 5mph, then turn slightly to one direction, and as you swing it to the other, push the clutch in, rev that sucker to the heavens and dump the clutch, then when it’s spinning out, counter steer it and keep adding a little gas. Also make sure your front tires have more grip than the rear tires.

Yes he's right lol took me 4 months of owning the car to know how to turn the traction control all the way off 2014 5.0 , slides like a champ

I will absolutely try your technique, Thank you!
2nd gear is better to swing right ?
figure it out yet?
I'm getting much closer, but I will have to rebuild the diff.
More gas
You asked if a tire had tread..
