Well I pulled the trigger and finally got my new shoes!

A couple weeks ago when they were threatening a winter storm, I knew my slicks would not make it so i got my shop to hook me up!

 

265/70R17 Cooper Discoveret ST MAXX

 

So far I love these! Extremely supportive in corners / very sticky in the rain / very smooth / slight hum which i like.

Nice tires!!! I looked at finding a set of s/t's the biggest they make is a 285 so I couldn't get them.

 

I love cooper products you can't go wrong!! I've owned 2 sets of cooper discoverer STT's, Mickey Thompsons, and a set of dick cepeks. All great tires with zero issues or complaints.

 

I just ordered a set of 35x12.5 r20 cooper discoverer STT's as well!! Should be in my garage by Friday!!

Well I am happy to announce that I pulled the trigger on a new set of Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx in 285/70/17. Cooper lists them as being a true 33 inch tire and they definitely do run big compared to other tires in the 285/70/17 category. I have had them on for about a week and I am super happy with them. I had Dick Cepek FCII on my last truck and the Coopers are VERY quiet for such an aggressive All terrain/Mud Terrain Hybrid. Very slight hmmmm at highway speeds but definitely not as noisy as the Cepeks.

 

Had the tires mounted on freshly powdercoated OEM steel wheels.

 

I really love the look of the truck and love the new coopers. The truck is my second vehicle so it doesnt get driven daily, but I will try and keep everyone posted on how these tires wear. If you are looking for an aggressive AT tire, Give the Coopers a look. I paid $245.00 each at my local Discount tire shop.

 

Let me know what you think.

Jeff

Those are some good looking tires. Do you know how bad these tires hurt your gas mileage? I thought these might be too aggressive for me but if they don't hurt the gas mileage that much, I may consider them.

My old truck / 06 silverado, I lost maybe .5-1 mpg Depending on how i drove it tho. On my new truck with the 6.2L, I never got a chance to test with stock tires to see a difference. But the MPG I am currently seeying is City: 11-14 Depending on how much stop and go i'm doing, and also how much i push the peddle from a complete stop... On the HWY Im averaging anywhere from 13-20 (moslty in the 14-15 range tho) Depending on if I'm driving on flat land or hitting hills. And of course how fast i'm going. Once I hit 70+ you can pretty much see the needle moving.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
