OK transmission gurus out there ... My truck lost 5th today. I didn't hear or feel anything break, snap or make any unusual noises. I was getting on the freeway and shifted from 4th to 5th and it wasn't there. 1st through 4th work just fine. I am not knowledgeable at all about...

So last Friday I pulled the trigger on a set of Warden 265/75R16 tires from Tread Wright. I've been following several threads for the past 3 or 4 years and only read of one instance where there was an issue with a tire, of which Tread Wright followed through and took care of the customer. I...

Anyone see any issue running a set of dually calipers and rotors on an SRW? I'm doing an unplanned brake job and got the rotors on before I realized they were for the dually and not the SRW. I really don't want to take the rotors off, so I'm wondering what the consensus is on just running...
