38K on my Factory tires. Rotated every 9K and they have been fine. I will be researching new tires this fall and Bridgestone as well as BFG and Michelin will be on the list.

Anybody have problems w/these tires or here of the issues w/them?

Had Bridgestone Duelers on the back of my old truck for traction tires, really liked them. However, Duelers are offered in several different models for different applications. Any specific model you are looking at?

i only got 31k out of my stock duelers (i only owned the truck for 10k- so i dont entirely know the whole story why they wore so fast). i wasnt impressed with them at all so i switched to pro comp all-terrains (which have a 50k mile warranty). i like these alot better.

I bought a set of the Revos for my wife's 4X4 4Runner and I love them. They are a very aggressive looking tire. She didn't want the BFG ATs, so I talked her in to these. They are wearing great and I have had them on there for almost 2 years now. Of course, she doesn't drive it like a 4X4, the only time she drives it off road is when she runs over some dirt in a mall parking lot. :cool:

 

I still think it was a good choice in tire though.

      Most say the oil temperature needs to above the boiling point of water to rid it of moisture and long enough to dry it. Many think that is about a hour at 212 F or more. Those people have never line dried cloths in a Midwest winter. Leave a pan of water sitting on the counter and eventually it all evaporates. So heat drives the time it takes. Water in oil under 175 F, the Nitration initiation temperature, is a minimum then for temperature and samples I've done that use Karl Fisher method say about a hour (in a healthy well tuned motor) over 175 F will dry it to under 800 ppm. Low enough to not be much of a factor. Motors with weak rings will take longer and the colder the air temperature the longer it takes.   On a cold motor there is also the condensation temperature. Blowby gases that contain moisture are subject to that cold cylinder wall, like sweat on a glass of ice tea. But also subject to the Law of Partial Pressures. Wear studies by GM and the DOD  indicate wear is a real issue below 85 F and a concern to 140 F but doesn't become a minimal factor until about 160 F. You know this intuitively when you see water vapor exit the exhaust pipe until the system gets above the dew point. It isn't magic, it's physics and it fascinates me. I know you didn't ask but....I over share sometimes. 😉    You keep the Camaro's high and tight.

      Move further away.   Benefit of living out - none of our cars get short cycled, plenty of warm up time.   Curious how much time/temperature it takes to drive moisture/condensation out of the engine?

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Switch a a 100% synthetic trans fluid, Amsoil works for me.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      2027 3.0 l Duramax

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.
