    Intermittent Stalling/No Start (electrical?)

    I think these are drive by wire throttles. In other words I don't think there is a mechanical throttle connection between the pedal and the throttle body. That would probably be a place to start at least.

    Replacing BFG's

    I was kind of fortunate today. I ran into two buddies with the same trucks different colors. Both had pretty new tires also. One had the AT3W and the other KO2. Both were blackwall. I have to say in all honesty with both tires being blackwall, to me and I know this is just opinion which is...

    Wheel questions

    OK thank you. So does those wheel specs just mean it's a wheel the same diameter and width, but will stick out 1" further since it is 4" backspaced rather than the stock 5" ? I don't have a lift. So moving the tire/wheel outwards 1" is just going to cause rubbing? I am not an anti-lift guy. I...

    Wheel questions

    I have stock steel wheels which I think are 16x7. I haven't taken one off to try to measure backspacing etc. I got confused right away with there being backspace and offset in mm. All I grasp is simple things like say 16x7 with 4" backspace would mean 4" in and 3" out from the back of the hub...

    Replacing BFG's

    Yeah, it would not be hard to be talked into them like that when you are looking at them. Those are scratched off for me then. Just not doing fast wearing tires and if they are wearing fast on trucks I would probably wear them out in 20k, which in the end makes them expensive too. And this may...

    Replacing BFG's

    I saw the Kenda Klever RT's on a pickup in a parking lot today. These have pretty knarly tread in person. They appear to be an in between tire, like between a mud tire and an all terrain.

    Getting time to replace the Duratracs

    100K is crazy on tires. How do you get that kind of tread life? Lots of smooth straight road driving? I bet you haven't worn out another set of tires to tell me what they were and what kind of mileage you got out of them for me to compare? I have gotten as little as 20K and as much as 35k. I...

    Replacing BFG's

    Nice find. I had not seen those before and I would be for sure interested. But 265/70-16 is the smallest 16 I found.

    Replacing BFG's

    Editing my list here making a little more progress. 245/70-16 BFG KO2 - most expensive, no treadwear warranty BFG Rugged Terrain Toyo Open Country AT3 - too new to find much reviews but quiet and 65k warranty 225/75-16 General Grabber ATX - I liked the AT2, these look better, 50k warranty...

    Replacing BFG's

    Thanks. that seems like the same thing I was told by a tire shop and they used that for an excuse to keep selling me goodyear wranglers in 225/75-16 as that was stock replacement and back then the only tire that wasn't an E in that size. So I'd do 235 in the AT3W I guess. They also make a...

    Driver's side front clunk

    I got the chance to just quickly jack the left front off the ground. I really thought I'd hear it pop when I did that and get a better since of where it was coming from. But no dice. I think I am going to try braking hard to see if it pops, then try jacking it up again. Maybe tomorrow. It does...

    Driver's side front clunk

    I have the same problem, even on the same side. Ever figure it out? It has gotten worse where it's not just turning in the driveway anymore. Sometimes I hear it after breaking and again after taking back off. Its getting where I can feel it sometimes in the floorboard under my left foot...

    Replacing BFG's

    How are your KO2's wearing so far? How many miles? I'm not against them by any means. I have just asked some truck guys and they been saying they don't last like the old ones did. I don't know how much stock to put in that. Looks like they have updated the Cooper AT3 line. I see the XLT LT...

    Replacing BFG's

    Well heck... I didn't realize I was still so limited in tire choices after going to another size. Once I started looking at sizes tonight I realized I don't really have that much choice. 245/70-16 BFG KO2 BFG Rugged Terrain Toyo Open Country AT3 225/75-16 Kenda Klever MT Falken Wildpeak AT3W...

    Replacing BFG's

    Thought that might be the case. I know i put the new stock height stuff on and then the 245/70-16 and was paranoid. I remember cocking it up all sorts of ways and turning the steering and I don't remember there being much room left at certain angles. But I couldn't remember if the gap was more...

    Thank you. Those look pretty good. No noise on the pavement would be nice from job site to job site.

    Replacing BFG's

    8 ply rated load range D. Seems like they are in between an XL and an E? Something others don't make. I haven't even checked this on the KO2. How has the wear been on the AT3's? I've put more tires on this Liberty than anything I have owned. Like I say, it wears them smooth, but wears them...

    Replacing BFG's

    Hey guys, eventually I am going to have to replace my BFG T/A KO's. This for me has been the best all around tire for my uses, mostly because of the toughness and treadwear. I have been running them with fresh stock height suspension in 245/70R16 and have never had any rubbing. Only semi bad...

    Lost 5 mpg???

    Nope, no codes. There were also no codes or symptoms when the hole developed. I just got out and left it running, and when I did I heard a sound that I couldn't determine if it was a jingle sound or a high pitch suction sound. I first kinda thought idler pulley or water pump. But the engine was...
