    looking for suggestions on tire sizes

    ok, now I feel a little better. lol The rims I bought came off a ford...I didn't realize the two use different wheel stud threads...my tires will be in tomorrow but now I'm on a quest to find long acorn style lugnuts...locally.

    looking for suggestions on tire sizes

    Thanks Tanner. Man tire prices have gone up in the last 4-5 years. Last set was a little over $800.00 out the door...now they're 1073.00!

    looking for suggestions on tire sizes

    Finally scored some wheels for my dmax. Got em for $300.00. They came with 315 70 17's BFG AT's on em...pretty worn (and too big for me). I already have two guys wanting to buy the tires only for 150.00. The wheels are 17x9's and was thinking 285 17 not sure about aspect ratio (70 or 75)...

    Poll Idea's

    I thought I already suggested this one but search didn't find anything...I may have just thought about it and never actually suggested it... If your truck has an hour meter, what is the average mph over the lifetime of your truck? (Divide total miles on odometer by total hours) It has...

    What brand of work boot do you wear?

    Wow, Justin Boots were not an option. I own three pairs of footwear total. 16" snake boots for hunting, and two pairs of hand made Justin work boots. (That's it., no girly shoes like crocs or flip flops for me.) One pair I wear daily to work, church or other events and the other pair are my...

    What do you do to waste time at work?

    one option should have been "login to TTS and answer poll questions" - lol

    front axle flange has play - normal?

    Just when you start to get a tiny bit of confidence in a dealer....they do something that makes you question that confidence. Basically, the "GM Gold Hammer Certified" technician was out sick so (it appeared to me) the oil change tech looked at my truck. The service manager told me that the up...

    front axle flange has play - normal?

    Just got off the phone with the service manager, said he agreed that the axles should not be moving and they should have caught it while it was in getting the seals a couple of months ago...and that the work would still be covered under warranty. So, to the dealer she goes first thing in the...

    front axle flange has play - normal?

    Sorry Mike, I should have clarified; the seals where the axle(not the CV axle, the axle that comes out of the housing next to the differential and bolts to the flange of the cv axle), if I push up from the bottom on the truck with my hand on that flange, the flange and axle move up and down...

    front axle flange has play - normal?

    Was under my 07 yesterday changing the oil and took to opportunity to check the front axle seals that I had replaced under warranty 3k miles ago...and it was the second time they were replaced in a few months. Upon inspection, I noticed that I could move the flange slightly(where it comes out...

    1st Part fail at 195k on LBZ

    Very impressive indeed!

    I just bought an LLY...

    Good call Mike, I was thinking 6 sp ally...and good advice on the magnet. I now have a label either on the side of the tranny or on the bell housing that says something like "move magnet to new filter before installing" lol, yes, after driving for 2 days I remembered that I did not move the...

    Test drove a truck yesterday - 06 LBZ

    I spoke to him today...obviously I misunderstood the amount. He paid 2k to delete but for some reason he chose H&S Performance...don't know much about them but just taking a peak some of their stuff is kinda high...like the tuner he picked.

    I just bought an LLY...

    If you have a Allison shop near you, for some reason their prices are very low. I pay $7.97 for my spin on filters (genuine Allison) and $30.00 per gallon for TranSynd (made by Castrol for Allison) - that's 7.50 per quart. Before I knew that Allison was not recommending Dex VI any longer I...

    Test drove a truck yesterday - 06 LBZ

    I don't know the specifics on my buddy's cost (he has plenty of money so he may have included buying efi live ) but it is NOT a simple cat delete like my LBZ was. As far as the computer goes, it doesn't know if I have a cat or not...never could...but the computer on the DPF trucks are well...

    With fuel prices still rising, what have you tried to increase your fuel mileage?

    With a mild (+85hp) tune, removed the factory airbox "tornado" thing from the intake and removed the cat, I've been averaging almost 19 running back and forth to work and 22 on the highway...not much else I could do....except cut back on wasted trips.

    Members average MPH (total mileage on odometer divided by total hours).

    Test drove a truck yesterday - 06 LBZ

    That's not a bad price...at least compared to trucks in the south. Keep in mind, it's pretty expensive to delete the DPF on the 07.5's and up...but it's a must (I've been told) to get the fuel mileage like the LBZ. My buddy's 2011 cost a little over 3k $ to delete.

    Recommended "things to check" before your warrany runs out...

    One more thing...when I picked my truck up I made a comment about how it was a good thing waiting til the last minute due the the bearing...the service manager said GM has extended the front bearing assemblies out to lifetime. Any body else heard of this?

    Recommended "things to check" before your warrany runs out...

    I don't know if it's just my truck or chevrolet's in general, but I've had several axle seals leak on my D-max. RR one has been replaced twice in a short period of time and then the dealer went back in with extra sealant it finally stopped leaking. The two flange seals (both sides) of the...
