REVO's Installed


Recommended Posts

Posted

Yesterday I had a set of 265/75 Bridgestone REVO's put on my HD. They look good and can't wait for the snow! Rides better than the stock 245's also, IMO.

 

I also painted the air intake resonator details under the hood which turned out pretty well.

The Revos look great on the HD trucks! I put them on my '03 HD also and love the look. GM should make the Dueler Revo one of the optional tires. They would sell easily. When I looked at your pics Firetiger(MN) it reminded my of how great those tires look! Nice looking truck :P . I agree with you that the ride is improved.

Nice. Looks a whole lot better than the 245s. :D:P

 

The air intake resonator looks good too.

Thanks.

 

If you look close there is a blemish on the passenger tire's OWL. The white was scuffed off all the way around the outside edge of the lettering. They are ordering me a new one next week.

 

The resonator was a little tricky but not bad. Had to have a steady hand and a little patience, but I like the way it turned out.

The Air Resonator was worth the patience. Looks great. Does it mach the body color? I would like to accent some of the engine parts with my truck but they are already black and the truck is black. Maybe a Silver. The tires are great looking as well. Enjoy :P

 

Later.

Very nice. I like the look of a 265 on those trucks. I'm running 285's on my HD but they are wearing like s**t and this is my thrid set of 285's I guess the rims are two narrow. So I'm stepping back down to 265's and the tires will hopefully wear better, get some regained toque and gas mileage. But anyways keep me posted on the wear of those Revo's.

Thanks

 

Yes, a set of tires can really change the look of a truck. I ran 285's on my 2002HD and it was a night and day difference between those and the 245's. They weren't on there long enough to notice any bad tire wear, but I also didn't run 65 psi like some do which will definitely wear out the centers. They seemed to wear good in the 13k miles that they were on.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
