That's what I'm looking for around here. Looking at one set that has 14,000 miles on em. That'd get me by a couple years. Any ideas how the original michelins were on these trucks. From pictures they don't show a model. Just load rating of E.

You're right about these two tire sizes. I'll look for 265/70-17. Calculator says exactly the same as 265/75-16.

I've got a low stall torque converter too. Wish I didn't. It pushes you all the time. Even at idle it will go 15 mph on flat ground.

But you have manual transmission and exhaust brake. Us auto transmission drivers face different set of circumstances. I typically pop my transmission into neutral when braking hard. We rely on brakes all the time and limited shifting to slow and automatics don't generally have exhaust brakes without some kind of transmission modifications. Short search on 47re and exhaust brakes netted questionable results without significant transmission modifications. Tears em up. So back to 3rd gen brakes seem more feasible.

Is there a big difference between a Diamond eye system with muffler included for like $270 than a diamond eye system with FTE resonator instead of the diamond eye muffler?

So am I to understand that locating the resonator as close to the front as possible will reduce cab drone? Is there a big longevity issue with stainless vs aluminum?

You get your mod done yet?

I am looking at some wheel/tire combo's on Craigslist. Looking to go to 17" wheels for eventual 3rd gen brake conversion. Question in the short run is...can I use the spare off of my old 16" rims as long as I've not made the brake conversion? According to tire calculator there is a 1" difference between the same tire size from 16-17" rims. I don't have posi rear axle. I'm kinda cheap. Rebuilt my rears a year ago with new rotors. So I want to do the front conversion first. Is it ok to do the fronts now and rears at a later date? Some good deals on Craigslist for takeoff wheels and tires. Like $400 for tires with 75% tread. I paid $1,000 for my last set of tires alone. 55,000 miles and thin.

Glad that positive things have taken you away!

You have room for a co pilot or a gaming center.

I hope that's all it is. Worth a try for sure to flush system and refill.

Yes.

I'm wondering about just going to Car Toys and have them supply speakers, stereo and have them do the install. Lifetime warranty on instal. Seems like their prices are good. I'd like to know if better system will allow for lower volume and better ability to hear?

Loosing any engine oil?

But you're rusting and I'm not.

Now I'm worried about doing this on my truck

So 200k would be more like 60/40?

People spend big bucks for generator maintenance. Periodic maintenance and testing to make sure they operate when needed. Load testing would be nice.

Oh no, Cadillac1973man.com

Looks awesome! That's what I want.

Doesn't the relief valve (return fuel system) take care of too much pressure? I'm 22 idle and around 18 cruising down the hiway. Never falls below 14.

I'm afraid my hands would not fit under the hood. Need a little Japanese woman to help.

The whole hub probably isn't that expensive. New bearings too. Like $30 for a 5 lug wheel if I remember correctly.

The gas station tanks are like our fuel tanks aren't they? Draw off the bottom all the time.
