  1. Just so I'm clear, you have several vehicles in your sig. This 15/40 is in nv5600 ?
  2. You're absolutely right. And it's dammed if do or don't kinda thing. I love having a family but crap that comes with, is not for everyone that's for sure.
  3. Yeap, keep your mouth shut and do as they say, then life is good. I just can't help myself sometimes as you all know already
  4. Wish it was as easy as air freshener ha ha
  5. I used to , but now my wife even hates when I start my truck let alone go anywhere in it She was all nice when we first met, little did I know
  6. How long have you been using 15/40 in your nv5600. Anything abnormal when you drain it?
  7. I was trying to be funny, sorry. Look where it's gotten me
  8. I'm kinda beginning to understand but not sure how it works a 100% If there is one charge wire going from alternator to pdc or battery, how can anything backfeed of it if nothing else is touching it. Can someone school me on this
  9. I'm not an electric chicken, but alternator only has one wire going to pdc so not sure how it can back feed anything. But it does sound like you may have some electrical issues.
  10. Hey JAG sorry to again After few weeks of driving my ABS light decided to come back I swear this thing is haunted
  11. Is that include dismount and mount balance etc? This place has 265 for $720 shipped, but I never delt with them https://www.tires-easy.com/265-70-17/hankook-tires/dynapro-atm-rf10/tirecode/2001383 Yeah I know, just hearing others talk like they are so much cheaper and better and all, I was wondering same thing. If I'm only saving 100 on the whole set then I'll get something better, but what is it? that's better. I thought buying Toyos was a good idea, being made in USA and all, we'll not always... but I know they were less then $1000 shipped to my door in 285s size, so these Chinese tires in 245s for $950 that @Mopar1973Man is getting just seems high, but then again if they last and wear better then the American made, I guess why not. I think it's with any tire you get, some say one thing some say the other. But in a nutshell hankooks seem to get good reviews compared to others. I was thinking about BFG ko2 but they look heavier and some say they wear out quick, but made in USA, so idk
  12. I'm looking to get new tires and thanks to @Mopar1973Man and few other reviews I'm thinking about getting these Hankook ATm in 265/70/17 E rated. Currently I have Toyo Open Country at2 in 285/70/17 and they are OK tire, but not as good as its hyped up. I had one crack in between tread on me in a first month of ownership, but it's been 4 years now and the crack hasn't grown. I put same set on my work truck f350 (265/70/17) and they are almost gone after 25k, and have some tiny cracks all over them, like they are 10 years old. What made me lean this direction to go smaller is few things. One is I got a used set of rims and tires of 03 with some junky 265/70/17 BF Rugget Trail but right of way gained 2mpg speedo accounted for, and two easier steering and take offs in 2nd gear and just less load going down the road. After having these used 265s on the truck I'm starting to get used to smaller look, but still looks better then 245 I just can't climb over that hump to put 245s on Anyway part of this post is to say thanks for convincing me to a smaller size and Hankook brand and the other part is I was going to see what everyone else runs for size/brand and how you like it. Maybe overall mpgs to compare tire size vs gear ratio vs everything else. I think we'll see a bigger picture that way. Also what sites do you use to get tires, so far I've looked at tirerack, tirebuyer, and (tire-easy.com which seems to be cheapest but have no experience with them.) Another thing I want to mention is these Hankook being a China tires are not much cheaper in this size and rating, I was expecting it to be in $500 range for a set of 4. They must be getting popular enough now that prices went up So let's hear your thoughts
  13. Thanks for the Post Man that sucks, hopefully not all the trucks are going to suffer from that.
  14. I put mine on passenger side but I couldn't use kit you have because it's too big and my 5 inch exhaust is in the way. Good job on the rebuilding your transmission
  15. I would first make sure everything with your 5-volt supply good before I touch VP. Could be anything from a loose wire to a bad sensor, and could be any of them that share 5 volt Loop. ECM is in control of idle, if you rev it up and it becomes normal, almost points to alternator putting out excessive AC current.
  16. Anymore electric ones have a lot of power, like at work we have Milwaukee 1/2" to work on pipe and other random stuff. Works really well and worth the money if you use it enough.
  17. I got IR 3/4 for bigger stuff but don't use it very much, just did front wheel bearings and it took axle nut off like a lug nut.
  18. Muffler for intake. Very original, cool idea.
  19. I know after I tore mine apart again to change valve seals for the second time I also readjusted my valves from 8:18 to 10:20 now it seems like when my truck is warming up I have a dead spot, almost like power disappears for a split second then comes back when taking off, but when it warms up everything is fine. Not sure if it has anything to do with valve adjustment or the way injectors went back in, all I know it's a little noisier with larger valve lash.
  20. Scary, I held mine at 1300-1400 for about same time and was freaking out the whole time
  21. Good idea, another reason to have a beer before work, or 4
