Thanks!

 

I actually kinda like the stock wheels. One day I might do wheels since I plan on keeping the truck for 10+ years. I'd rather get rid of the stock tires first. Not impressed with them at all.

Are they still putting the garbage goodyear wrangler sras on the 18" stocks for 2016? If so, i agree... they gotta go Edited by dbcooper

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Yep. Same tires. Not impressed with the traction at all. Now granted, I've never owned a pick up before and there's a little learning curve to driving without weight on the rear tires. But I get this thing sideways more often than I feel it should on wet backroads. Same with getting into the ABS when braking on wet roads. And it's not a question of driving ability either. I'm a police driving instructor, so I've driven a pretty good selection of vehicles at lots of different speeds.

At least the winter is probably over here this year. I'll likely run the stock tires up until the winter and switch over to some Duratracs or something similar.

After years of bashing spacers, I some talked myseld into purchasing a set. I called up Bora and ordered a set of hub centric 1.5" steel spacers for the rear. They will be built sometime within the next 5 days and shipped. Pictures will of course be posted.

 

thanks guys.. now you know why I'm struggling with the choice.. I've never seen chrome switchblades like the front, which makes me lean that way.. then I look at the black and think they look great too.. killing me...

Thanks for the vote

Personally I think the chrome switch blades look cheap. The design of that wheel with a chrome finish makes it hard to see the edges/lines of the wheel. Which then make it look big and bulky and appear cheap. Out of the two I vote the blackones.

I'll have to look into one of those. I've always bought Extang, but I haven't had luck with the last two that I've bought. Time for a change.

I had a flex, it was either a lemon or I'm picky but I always had standing water in the bed after the truck sat in the rain. I have a tonno pro hard fold now, it doesn't leak. Functionality isn't as good as the flex was from an latching mechanism and you can only get 2/3 bed access unless your remove the cover. I'm not totally satisfied because of that but, I paid less than $500 shipped and I can't bring myself to drop $700+ on another cover.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
