okay so I just sold my 275/55/20s and stock wheels. I will be replacing them with a set of factory reproduction TBSS wheels. I'm still a little torn between Gloss Black and Chrome. I live in the midwest and want to be able to run them year round. So i'm leaning towards black ....but no so sure. photoshop would help if anyone is willing.

 

The next thing that is up in the air is tire size. I have searched and searched and can't really find what im looking for. As of now I'm thinking of running a 305/45/22 Hhankook dyna pro atm.

 

Does anyone else have any suggestions. My truck does have a RC 2" leveling kit on it. So I'm trying to get as close to a 33 inch tall tire as possible with out spending $2000 on tires.

 

Any and all help is appricated.

 

Thanks

Chris

With a 305, you should run a 305/40R22. It as close to the 275/55R20 in height as you can get

I have plenty of room to go bigger. It looks kind of funny with the 275/55/20s need more wheel and tire to fill up the wheel well. thats why I want to get as close to 33's as possible.

I am going to the 305/40R22 when I change wheels. I am still deciding between chrome TBSS wheels and Factory CK375 22's

Well factory 22 is a 285/45R22. I need the wider because i have traction issues with my 6.0. Get your wheels and find a tire shop that has both. Then see if they will test fit for you. they mounted a 275/60R20 for me because it was a 33" but it rubbed a little so I got the 275/55R20

I have a slight rub with a 2.5 inch level at left full lock coming out of my driveway with the 275/55R20

The mounting face is 9 mm closer to the wheel center line. The newer trucks have a little more room in the wheel well.

I was always a ,fan of the 285,s.. I think they always end up being the perfect combination of height and width..

But chris is right, if your tryin to go 305..it would have to be 40 not 45,

Im not sure I understand why I would go with a 40? Its shorter than the 275/55/20 I have on their now.

The 40 is a percentage of the width to make the sidewall height. Going to a tire that's 20mm wider you need to change the aspect ratio for the sidewalk height. 305/45R22 is taller than 285/45R22 while a 305/40R22 is about the same size

      Gas Prices

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      By Newduramaxh*ar · Posted

      Hello, Im in a bit of a bind maybe someone could help me out.  We towed our trailer, up a pretty steep incline (395 north of Bishop) done it before no issues. I got to our campground turn truck off, i restarted the truck about an hour later  and check engine light turns on. Found DTC P2C48,  unable to reset.  This morning i removed the plug, there's 12.12v at the plug. Reservoir near firewall is full of coolant, checked for leaks nothing. I dont hear or feel the pump turning on. My dilemma, is nearest dealer  is 4hrs away that has the pump instock. Is it safe to drive? By me checking the available voltage at the connector and not hearing/feeling pump turn on, is it a bad pump? Please help...

      The figure bandied about is "100 million barrels" so I think a decimal is off somewhere. But that doesn't change the outcome much when the expected flow through the Strait through over the same time should have been more than 2,000,000,000.   So 5%, if that number is even true, and there's sufficient data to believe it's not. Give that man another Fifa peace prize! 5% is less than the flow of a grapefruit-sized prostate blocking the release of cheap lager after a night of bingo.
