I currently have 35" Dick Cepek FC-II's on my truck and they ride great, little noise, but nothing my radio cant cover up.

 

Was wondering if anyone has any real world experience with the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T tires? I know they will be a bit noisier than my current all terrains, but how do they ride? do they pull in either direction? Do they feel wobbly going down the highway? Anything that will help me out with choosing the correct tire.

 

They look mean too, which is half the battle with a lifted truck :D

 

Oh yeah, Im looking at getting them in 37x12.5r17, but figured they should all be the same, but I know you start losing "control" as they get bigger.

 

Thanks

Junk. Keep the FC 2's or stick to any cooper product. I had a set of nittos once, overpriced garbage IMO. But I had mud grapplers, they were louder than sin and wore out suuuuper fast. Punctured easy too.

 

Cooper, Mickey Thompson and dick cepeks are where it's at!!

I saw a set of Cooper STT's like two years ago. I think those would be too noisy. It is my DD, so it cant be too much of a mud tire. But they looked mean as shit from what I remember

how many miles you usually get out of the STT's?

 

I have 14k on mine now, still about 2/3rd's tread left. Great tires so far. Was just looking for something a little beefier, but I just saw that they have a 37x13.5r17 FC-II

My old truck almost got 80k Kms out of them. This truck is a little harder to keep rubber LOL, right now they are at about 60% maybe have about 25,000kms on them ahah

Only thing is dick cepek stopped making the fc-2's now, so you can't get the lifetime warranty thing anymore so you gotta buy 5 tires. Or at least I would.

 

I priced some 35x13.5 R20's it was 3200 installed for 5 tires up here LOL.

Does anyone know how Toyo Open Country M/T's ride and handle? Found a pretty good deal for 37's on 17" Dick Cepek DC2 wheels for 2261

I've got toyos on my truck, they're a little noisy, but I've always had a/t's but they're not as loud as some mud tires I've heard. They handle pretty good on pavement, and do better than the nitto terra grapplers I had before on wet pavement. Mine don't pull, I can let go at 75 goin down the freeway, and it go straight. I love mine and when they wear out I will definitely get a new set.

It seems like every lifted powerstroke owner around here has them, which is why im hesitant on even considering them. But getting wheels for another 500 seems like a pretty good deal. Then I could have two sets of tires and wheels

      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.
