I have a set of yokohama geolander at+II's on my 04 1500 z71 and i tell you what! you'd have to pay me to ever put them back on my truck... i'm not a crazy driver, i do drive 30 miles round trip 3 days a week to school on the highway and then just little driving other then that... i do pull and carry a load frequently but i wouldnt think that in 20,000 miles these tires would have lost almost 3/4 of their tread :thumbs:

 

anyone else had a bad experience with these... :cheers:

 

 

gimme your opinoins and thoughts

 

thanks, steve :rant:

Really, if im not mistaken they have a 40,000 tread wear warranty. I am on my 2nd set and love them. i get about 60,000 on my first set and am at almost 40,000 on this set. i did notice that you have to watch the tire pressure and make sure you rotate them. I rotate every 5,000 miles.

yeah see the only problem is the dealer put them on... and i have no proof showing it... unless i can get them to print me up something at the dealer that says when the put them on and at what millage... but i doubt it... I'm not really sure why they went down so quickly... i rotate every 3000 miles... its a pain but i do it... do you tow/haul allot with your truck?

I tow all summer long. I yank around a 25 foot Formula (speed boat). She tops the scales with trailer at about 6400lbs. My yukon does not like it ,but the tires hold up fine. Now i do have the LT265/75/16. Im not sure if you are running the P series or the LT.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
