Tires
That is something I will never understand about people...Getting larger tires, lift kits, etc... Every bit of that increases stress and failure on the truck... It even reduces the MPG because of rolling resistance and wind drag because the increased height of the truck... :confused

Winterization...
No joke... :thumbsup LOL I'm just about in your frame of mind... I stay right on top of my truck...Simple trick to your battery terminals... It really easy... Just take your terminal off and clean them well and then us a oil can and put a small amount of 30W engine oil on them and wipe the entire terminal (battery and cable). I do this twice a year and my cables still look factory fresh... Never been corroded... :smart I've got home made winter fronts that are under my back seat so if the temps fall I can put them on...

What's on your BOMB list????
Hmmm... I'm thinking with in the next year of trying to aim for a set of injectors... Not big ones but something with more holes than stock and a better spray pattern to give a better burn...

whats up people
It seem like you guys back east have the better prices concerning fuels and oils... But out west we get hammered quickly...As for me I got a good break when I fueled up in Lewiston, ID today at $3.499 a gallon. Got back to Riggins, ID and the Price is still at $3.859 a gallon... UGH! :mad

Tires
Ok... I'll tell the story... First of let look at the two tires... Cooper STT And now the Toyo M/T Now you'll notice that these two brands look identical to each other. The performance is about the same. Except I was told the Cooper STT would last 45K miles over Toyo's M/T's tire at about 25K miles. Then to top it all off the Cooper STT was about $300 bucks cheaper than the Toyo M/T's... Who said you needed to spend big bucks to get good tires! :smart

Valvoline marine 2 stroke
Here you go a straight link now... http://www.valvoline.com/products/Outboard%20NMMA%20(BIA)%20Certified%202-Cycle%20Engine%20Oil.pdf Specs... Pour Point -40*C (-40*F) Flash piont 65*C (149*F) This is really good characteristic for 2 cycle oil really close to the value of diesel fuel so its not going to change the diesel fuel values much... But the pour point will help the diesel pour point go low into the winter temps... Here is a TDS sheet on some common #2 diesel fuel. http://www.cenexenergy.com/Downloads/2ULSDSpec_2006.pdf
