Thanks for all of the great ideas guys! :(

 

Got the tires put on today and I love the white letters and the tires in general! They're forecasting snow here tomorrow too! So I may get to try them in a bit of snow sooner then I thought! I'll post some pictures of the tires when I can get a chance over the weekend in daylight for anyone who wants to see them.

 

The warranty covers 24/7 road side assistance for flat tires and if I go off roading and get stuck they will even cover the cost of a tow truck to pull me out! :D

Another vote for Wesley's Bleach White. Post some pictures of those tires on 18's if you can. My dad is in need of new tires on his Z71 and I mentioned to look into the Silent Armors.

I hope to do that tomorrow if it's nice out. Basically since having them put on the other day I basically go to work as it's getting light and come home in the dark. :nopity: I've only seen them in the light once myself. :cheers:

Got a chance to snap some shots the other day as promised and here they are!

This is what I meant. Couldn't remember exactly what it was called.

It's made for the white walls but works great on the White Letters also.

 

 

+1000 This stuff is great. I use it all the time. I am always amazed at all the grease and grime that come off my blackwalls.

Those look great on the 18's! I appreciate the photos. Have to forward them onto my fahter, tell him to pull the trigger when need be.

Wstley's Bleche-white

 

Just don't get it on the rims, it will eat clear coat off of rims. I use it myself, it even gets road tar off.

Here is a simple trick to try. Use any whitewall cleaner you like to use (use bleach-white myself), but instead of using a brush or SOS Pad, use 320-400 grit WET sandpaper. The black stuff.

Again, this is only to clean raised white letters or a white wall itself.

Been doing this over 30 years now, and found nothing out there that gets them whiter. Here is a youtube video my son and I made a couple years back that kind of explains everything. Have fun with it!

White toothpaste will clean um up real good.

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
