The only experience I've had with Kumho is the Kumho ROAD VENTURE AT-KL78, they wore out way too fast IMO, not sure how many miles I got out of them but it wasnt many.

I had kumho's and they were a good road tire, but quite frankly didn't get the mileage out of them I hoped. Just shy of 25,000 miles and only 2 years.

I just put a new set of Cooper Discoverer STT in 305/60R18 on my 09 GMC Sierra 4x4, and absolutely love them. They ride well for a 10-ply E-load range tire, but I keep ~45 psi in them. And to be a mud tire, they are surprisingly quiet. I have put about 800 miles on them, and love them.

 

The information I got from several people is that these tires should get 40k - 45k miles.

 

I got the set of tires delivered to my door for $976.18.

 

The Cooper Zeon LTZ are less expensive, just depends on the look and performance you are looking for.

I'm now running the Cooper Zeon LTZ's and have over 12,000 miles on them and they still resemble almost "like" new condition. I like them alot so far.

That's a good price on the Cooper STT's, what site did you get them at if you don't mind me asking? For the 33x12.5x20 there 1131.64 to my door from discounted wheel warehouse. I guess I have to search more, I thought I found a good price. Thanks, I was thinking I'm going with the STT's instead of the Toyo MT's because of price with my 3.5" zone combo kit. Thanks again and please let me know if you remember that website you got your tires from...

      I found a setup that lets me open the cover partway with racks installed, using side-rail-mounted systems for easy access.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      I really did not measure what came out. I carefully followed directions to check level after i did the spill and fill and filter change. I used 10 quarts. 9 was not quite enough. My trans temp was about 175 when I checked it. Truck sitting in my driveway very close to level where I always check oil pretty much every time for consistency. My driveway is just ever so slightly downhill to run water to the street.

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Warehouser · Posted

      Sounds like maybe it's announcing Navigation turns or Alerts (it mutes the music) ? When it mutes again, turn up the volume quickly and see if maybe the navigation volume is really low?
