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.

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.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
