  1. so i got a new tire and i put a lvling kit on fixed the brake line and grinded some of the fender and rolled the lip back on it ... if it rubs anymore i am going for cutting of the fender.. thx for all the info btw the truck looks really nice with the lvling kit on it, it sits nice and level now
  2. It is rubbing on both sides on the lower part of the fender where the seam is the seam is shredding up my tires i can take a pic if it helps its ripping up the inner fender the plastic and getting at the metal seam im thinking about grinding the seam down and throwing the lvling kit on cause my truck sags in the front end from that cummins weight and age... I hope i dont need to buy new wheels and change the offset cause i cant afford it at this point in time
  3. i dont care about losing the mpg....will a 2 inch lvling kit make the truck sit better? cause right now the front sags a bunch. i want to be able to clear the 285/16/75 with out rubbing does anyone know if the lvling kit will make it so it absolutely doesnt rub?
  4. So i was rolling down the free way today and my tire blew at 65 mph. My tires are 285/75 and i was aware they are rubbing and i think the blow out is due to this i have 16x10's i believe with nitto terra grapplers 285.... is it cause of the offset on the rims that it rubs... these are the rims i have: http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Store_Detail.cfm?ID=192660&InfoID=2505&ShowLarge=True&SnipID=4117 I would like to buy the same tire what do i need to do so they wont rub at all? I either have to change my wheel and tire combo to something smaller or im thinking i need a little lift in the front....if i were to lift the front so the whole trucks sits level would this help the tires not rub? The truck is a 1999 dodge cummins 4x4 as the truck sat i always noticed it sag in the front any feed back would help
  5. So i got my first ever owned diesel a 1999 dodge 24v diesel w/ 235k miles on it. It has a bit of troubles here and there. Ive noticed that since I got it for such a steal of a deal so i cant complain about its troubles. But there are a few, first off from roughly 1 1/2k to 2k rpm the tranny seems to have trouble getting up and going it feels like it is slipping, the other day i had it in 4 hi and i was trying to reverse up a hill and it just felt like it was going no where the motor sounds healthy. I know this truck has a lot of power that i am not seeing because of the transmission slipping. Another thing i have encountered is my keyless entry for the truck when i press lock the horn used to buzz for me on second click now for some reason it has stopped doing that. but the bigger issue is the tranny any suggestions. the only error code i am getting is p0380 but that code doesnt have anything to do with the trans. If the trans is slipping wont error codes flash my service light on. My truck also has a k&n cold air set up and i have 4'' exhaust all the way out. those are the only mods i know of. Any help or suggestions are greaty appreciated thx brian
