I never said what I liked and didn't like... You just told me what I did though. So how interesting was my idea again? 

Too tough for ya. I get it. Requires thought. Examples. Ever hear of them?

Yes, much too tough for me. I concede to your great knowledge and now understand how thoughtful your approach is. However if I have to give you an example of you putting words in my mouth because you don't remember or can't follow the conversation I have nothing for you.

I never suggested everyone should feel or do the way I do. I'm guessing you have these tires or similar on your truck? If so I'm happy for you.

 

What I see most of the time is trucks with mud tires are mainly for visual appeal. They rarely if ever are used for actual muddy conditions. Same thing with lift kits. In both cases they decrease fuel mileage and added noise. If I were a teenager I'd probably think differently, maybe I'm just old and logical. I poke fun at my son who's in his 30's about his teeny bopper AT4.

 

If your into such things I say go for it. It'd be a boring world if everyone drove the same truck

You still riding this horse? 

 

I follow quite well thank you. You're one of those guys whose only valid opinion is their own and love to attack people whose view differs. There was no valid reason to attack ArTurf. Pretty simple to me sport. 

 

Tell what, as you don't seem to speak the language  'reason' and this isn't a battle I need to win or even care to fight, you have yourself a nice day.

This was two days ago... maybe put your reading glasses on. You obviously follow nothing well, and I get you are trying to stick up for your buddy and that's cool if you want to. I never shared a view that difffers from anyone on this thread which is why I asked you if you can follow a conversation. You obviously cannot and maybe need to hibernate for a few more months before you try this again. Also you decided to come after me when I said nothing to you, so you did need this battle that you lost, and you keep trying to say I did things that I did not. Get your meds checked so you can follow along next time.  You have a nice day now too before you get yourself in trouble now old feller.

At 55K miles I’d say you have had reasonable performance out of those tires. Helps to regularly rotate them but at the end of tread life there isn’t much that’s going to quiet down an aggressive tire tread that’s worn.

Yeah, started really noticing them around 20k

Are you at the tread wear bars yet? Maybe it's time to get new tires. Goodyear may think so. ea2279f026791fde8f475f3e0407e56e.jpg

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
