I'm gonna take it to my exhaust guy and have him cut them back and then keep this muffler with dual outs and dump it right past the axle and have the tips stick out enough to see them. Probably keep them cleaner a lot longer too, the tips that is

I feel dumbfounded I never looked up under the back of my truck until now I just assumed it had 2 inch blocks because my 06 did, I feel slightly cheated. I guess it's time to add some 2 inch blocks to make me feel better.

You guys know anything from personal experience with federal couragia m/t tires? 35x12.5r18?

I have read all sorts of reviews and people say the sidewalls crack and dry rot but when I talk to people personally they say the have no problems with them. So I'm getting mixed reviews...

You looking specifically for mud terrain tires? Cause my all terrain dick cepek fc2's are great. They grip good on the road and aren't terrible off road, obviously there are better. Actually pretty quiet for the most part and wear really well if you keep them rotated (also helps with noise like any tire). Have about 25-30k on them and they still look like they have at least half tread if not more. Have also done a handful of burnouts with them lol

I am looking for anything at this point. Right now, I may be sticking with my level kit and 285/65/18 nitto trail grapplers. How much did those run you if you don't mind me asking? If I can find a good 33x12.5R18 tire then I would run that with the 2.5 level with 2" rear block (if it fits) haha. Some say it does with trimming. But for now I'm looking at tires between 33-35 inch tires. Sorry the message is all over the place

For 35x12.5r17 I think I paid like 390 a tire. Bit expensive but met and live up to all my expectations so far. I'm not off roading much so it does what it needs to do. I would stick with your tires you have now until they wear out cause you may want to lift it more and want bigger tires like I did lol

I've had good performance out of my nitto mud grapplers, I've got the 35/12.50/20 and they average around $400 each can probably pick the 33's on the 18's fairly decent, so far they've done good on dirt, snow, wet roads, and dry roads but are a little noisy, but that's just my 2 cents

My tires are pretty much bare and cracked all along the side walls so its time for some new ones. And yea I know I absolutely want a 6" lift with 35's but I am not sure if this is the truck I want to do it to. I'm still in college so I got a lot of life ahead of me for a big ole truck. I have been going through that conscience battle though about lift and tire size.haha

 

 

And Brandon I really like nitto's whole line of tires, never ran any of them myself but from the looks of it they are very durable tires with great performance reviews. I'm most likely going with the trail grappler buy I am still keeping an eye out for other tires til June when I go to purchase

If you pick something stick with it. I can never commit. I get bored with the look of mine every 6 months or so and. Change it. Next step is to do a 2/4 drop from stock

That can get rather expensive, you must have deep pockets.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
