LOL,yeah, those choppers will get you. I'm looking for a "not break the bank" kit...

If that's the case I would just get the resonator cut out. That should be about 150 with the welding.

I know I'm bringing up a relatively old thread, but I have seen you mention your 275/65 BFGs in a few other threads. I'm on the fence with a slightly shorter (but wider) tire in 305/55/20, or doing the taller/skinnier 275/65. I've been checking some other threads you posted in and saw some pics at an angle of your truck but would it be possible to ask you for a picture from directly behind the truck, at a bit of a distance for a realistic ratio/comparison of the width of the tire in relation to the size of the truck?

I apologize, I didn't see this post until a month later. Let me know if you still need these pictures.

 

In the mean time. I've done the NASA rice mod to my intake plenum.

Decided to test fit the new brakes. I bought these because I was consistently having trailer brake issues. Wanted to be safe and not sorry. Turned out an small rodent ate the brake wire. So anyway I'm stuck with these enormous rotors and 6pot brake calipers (doesn't that ****ing suck :) ha ha)

They fit pretty good. Just need some brake lines and then I'll do the install.

16" rotors are the same weight as the stock 13".

Well all good things must come to an end. She was a good truck, I hope she entertains the next owner as much as she entertained me. I had to upgrade to an HD truck, that trailer just is too heavy.

 

Brakes are for sale though.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
