Yes. Anything that adds a load to the torque is a bad thing. How many times can it take that load before it fails? A lot. The question is, do you want to be the one driving it when it is too much? I would avoid doing that.

If so then don't drive it. :confused:


If it can't take power braking it 1) is in very bad shape 2) should be in the junk yard 3)...- your choice.


Trans. fluid should be changed regularily & avoid hi power N to D.
If when you power brake a tire starts spinning, back off & you should be ready.

:cool:

Why the hell would you want to??? A Tahoe is not made to be driven like that… does your mother know what you are doing with her car? :nono:

I haven't done it to her car, I figured it would hurt it, but you never know so I asked, and since it does, I won't be doing it! ;)
