I haven't "broke them in" yet. I have been resisting and it hurts

 

But they are 275/55R20 Goodyear Eagle GT's. V rated and a load rating of 2800 lbs per tire

I had to pull the cooler out of my truck. It was taking up space in the back seat. What do you mean what's the deal Jim? Are tires in the way of your front door?

That's where I was going with my comment- a cooler of cold beverages on the porch? Impressive delivery

 

Like I said, I left it there because I needed it out of the truck. I am now a patron of Tire Rack. I am surprised at the $60 shipping and overnight standard delivery. Tire price wasn't bad either. $584 for all 4 before shipping.

I'm happy with Discount Tire Direct. Came to $185 a tire shipped I think, not to mention the ATP's are a DCT exclusive, I didn't have a choice. Second choice (and probably next set) will be ST Maxx. Didn't want to pay the extra, but I've been so happy with these I'd take the chance.

I think my next set will also be the ST Maxx.

Amsoil in the Nali yesterday.

 

Wheels going in for powdercoating for the Rado, lift kit is ready for install. Thinking Toyos or Nittos for it.

For what it's worth, I have had the Toyo's and currently have the Nitto's. I would recommend the Toyo's anyday, they rode smoother, performed better in wet/snow and the Nitto's seem to be wearing out a lot faster

I had Nitto Terra Grapplers on my 04 Tahoe and loved those things. They were a great all around tire and had a long life span. The current owner still has the second set on there! Justin likes the Trail Grapplers, but I think he is swaying towards the Toyos.

 

We had Toyo Proxes S/Ts on his old SS and they were great. We had Toyo Proxes S/T IIs on the TBSS and currently have them on the Nali. Great tires for a non rugged look. I think Justin is looking more for a rugged approach to his truck, which is totally opposite of how he normally is!

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
