    Tire decision help

    Ummmm..... he has 265/70R16s on his Monty.....look at the chart and they are 8.70" so that's two inches per tire, two tires per axle, so 4" of lost tread width at the ground. EXACTLY what I said in the first place. It doesn't matter anyway. ExPoers will load a couple hundred pounds of...

    I want your opinions on the Ecoboost.....

    And that would be a great reason. I asked WHY in hopes of legitimate rationale like "larger tires", not "my brother's cousin's friend has a Tundra with 4.30s and it can tow a space shuttle...and so I need 4.30s too"

    Planning my Escape Vehicle - LC/LX470, GX470 or Tacoma

    Thoughts: A 120K mile rig is worth considerably less than one with 90K miles 90K miles of one-owner mall crawling is decidedly easier on the truck than 120K miles of whatever use dictated the addition of rock sliders and bumpers The bumpers, rock sliders, wheels, and tires are all *USED* and...

    Advice on potential first offroad/expedition vehicle

    And a $3500-5000 Tacoma isn't going to be as nice (year, miles, condition) as a $3500-5000 anything else on that list.

    255/100/r16 XZL tires on full size Dodge

    You're looking at the French site, and the info there is outdated Look at Michelintruck.com which is Michelin of North America. No, they do not manufacture or offer a 255/100-16 or 9.00-16 for North America http://www.michelintruck.com/michelintruck/tires-retreads/tireInfo.do?tread=XZL...

    255/100/r16 XZL tires on full size Dodge

    Dually is different than single. And 255/85 is considerably different than 255/100. Great off road in certain terrain, I'm sure

    Advice on potential first offroad/expedition vehicle

    I would think a Jeep Cherokee 4.0 I6 5 spd would meet his criteria quite well. It would have every bit as much cargo capacity as a Blazer ZR2, for example. And better fuel economy than several on the list. Lots of aftermarket. A lot less expensive than a Tacoma. But maybe there's a reason...

    255/100/r16 XZL tires on full size Dodge

    If you don't drive faster than 50 mph, and never need to make an emergency maneuver on the freeway, I think they are great choice. Have at it. They are so great they're not even produced anymore.

    Front diff wheel bearing replacement, $1k?!?!

    I wouldn't give much credibility to what a tire shop tell you about mechanicals. If they've alerted you to a potential problem, great, just bring it to a real mechanic that you trust It's pretty difficult to make a front differential failure sound like a wheel bearing (i.e. "larger lug on front...

    Grinding in 4 wheel drive

    It's a system, so the "noise" itself is coming from the actuators (like automatic hubs). They half-engage and grind the teeth. But that just might be the symptom. The solenoid might be bad (Ford has had three part number updates trying to solve the problem), or the vacuum lines might be clogged...

    Grinding in 4 wheel drive

    I'd bet it's the 4x4 hubs, what Ford calls IWE (Integrated Wheel Ends). No the actuators, the hubs themselves (one or both) http://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/836438-everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-the-iwe-system-and-then-some.html

    Anyone need a 2001 F250 V10 5spd with 58K miles?

    Thanks, the idea wasn't to sell his truck for him. He can do that. I just wanted to give the contributors of the Domestic section a heads up for a cool, rare truck. If someone's interested, I'll put you in touch. It even has factory-ordered carpet delete -- XLT package with vinyl floor!
