I have been researching this topic for a while and it seems the majority from all the sites and FB groups most really like the Toyo Open Country AT3's  I'll more than likely go that route this spring.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Hands down. I've had them on my last 3 trucks and cannot rave about them enough. Decently priced, 3PSF rated and track like nobody's business in rain and snow, smooth riding, loo

I loved the factory trail runners quiet ride, exceptional wear and great fuel economy.  They didn't have the street presence of a dedicated off-road tire so I switched up to the grabber ATX .  They we

The Cooper AT3/ AT3 XLT are very quiet. XLT are E tires, so "stiffer" and heavier. 

I don't mind the K02 but think they are overrated/very lite hum.

Continental AT's 

Ultraterrain Goodyears were one I was looking at, but wanted to downsize to an 18" wheel 

Curious your thoughts on them 

 

All have their trade offs. I never cared for the K02s in the rain and they are decent offroad but master of none; But that was for a different application. Toyo's are a more aggressive looking AT, on par with the Wildpeaks there.

Have to agree on the cooper discovery XLT.  Solid AT tire and super quiet.  Not terribly heavy either.

I don't have anything to compare it to but the stock tires that come on my truck with was g/y wrangler territory M/T , the ULTRA TERRAIN are way quieter and ride little softer and smoother but there is still audio coming from them but not bad, to be totally honest I was expecting little better quality from them for that price range 1300 $ , the traction is not great but not terrible , the TERRITORY  was way better in everything but noise and ride quality.... so do I recommend the ultra terrain ..??  I believe there is a better option out there , I hope so there is, if I have to rate those tires I would give it 6.5 out of 10.... my next purchase will be TOYO OPEN COUNTRY , I hope those will not disappoint .

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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.
