Ok fellows, its time to finally get a new pair of shoes. I have over 45K on my current Cooper ATP's and they have held up Great! They were my first set of Coopers and I have been more than pleased with them thus far. They still have a good amount of life but my cousin is looking for a set of hunting tires for next year and is willing to take them off my hands before they are shot. For a reasonable family price of course :)

 

I will also be changing tire sizes which is how I narrowed it down to these two tires. Current size is 275/65 20 and plan to go to 295/60 20 which is about the same height but wider of course. I do have a 2 1/2 inch level in the front with rear blocks so I'm hoping I can make these work with minimum issues.

 

Looking for opinions on either of these two tires and possible tire size before I purchase. FYI the ridge grapplers are about $25 more a tire and I will be purchasing from discount tire most likely since they have treated me very well in the past.

 

 

Thanks in advance and happy trucking!

Well, I guess it depends what is more important to you. The Coopers will be better in the mud, but will probably be louder on the highway and may not last as long. The Nitto's will be smoother and quieter, but will not do as well in muddy conditions.

I just put the nitto ridge grapplers on my truck in that exact size and love them!! They drive great on the road with just enough "meat" on them to get you through mud. They look better then your average all-terrain and perform good so far. Not sure how long they will last, I probably have 500 miles on them now. 89084366787c62b3a5263e9f5e3012f4.jpg28b50e955f2cf05a4aef0c6484b15c7b.jpg554acd13687b1a0a2b0031b9d88ec2e0.jpg767a5cd8c49b9f552e963b53ba6545f7.jpg

      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.
