Installed 19.5's on the Pimp Truck

Posted

Well I haven't posted here in a while, mostly because I was super busy and hadn't had time to play with the truck. But I did put some used 19.5's on it a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't find many pictures of these on 2nd gens so I thought I post a couple here.

 

I have to say that I have vibration and the centramatics didn't help that at all. So I'm thinking either the tires are worn unevenly, or I have other issues I'm not aware of. Going to start working on that soon.

 

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos. The top is the "before" with 4th gen 17" 235/80, and the bottom is "after" with the 245/70/19.5.

      I went with the Vision wheels and I got them from Discount Tire.  I checked prices at Bruneel, Les Schwab, and the internet.  Internet was cheaper than these dealers.  Discount Tire doesn't do 19.5 tr

      If it turns out to be a balance issue then you may have to add beads to the tires.  I don't recall how much out of balance the Centramatics will correct but beads will enhance the out of balance corre

      Looks good!   My 19.5's with counteract balance beads are amazingly smooth.

    Fix the failed speed sensor or bad tone ring. Every time you turn the key off your resetting the light. If the problem still exist then the light is turned on. Typically a bad speed sensor or failed tone ring like my last failure was.

    Is that under the hood close to the battery and fuse box ?

    @Mopar1973Man I just changed my front wheel bearings and have a few years old sensor in rear end and my brake/abs light is back again after 2 weeks of no light, after front hub assemblys replaced. Not sure what to think now, kinda tired of it at the moment. 

    My brake and abs were on and after replacing both front hubs and the rear sensor the light stayed on for 6 weeks or so before it went off. Been of for 3 or 4 months now.

    You might have to get a OBDII tool that can report the ABS wheel speeds. Then monitor the wheel speeds while you drive then whichever wheel is dropping to zero could be a bad sensor or bad hub. Like mine the bearing was fine but the tone ring broke loose.
