    06 F250 Tire Question

    Currently I am running 38" Mickey Thompson's and 35" Pro-comps. (winter) Both sets of tires have about 20K miles on them and are showing hardly any wear. (3-4/32) You should be able to clear a tire that measures 33" tall with a stock suspension without any rubbing. Some guys are squeaking...

    Milwaukee 18V Batteries

    I don't have any Milwaukee cordless tools but I have had the same problem with dewalt 18V batteries. I have been through 4 batteries in 12 months. I am beginning to wonder if it has something to do with how long they they sit on the shelf at the retail stores. :dunno

    Need some serious help!!

    I run 38's on my truck with 4:56 gears. I do a fair amount of light towing and mostly in-town driving that was my main reason for my gear change. My truck also managed fine with the stock 3:73's but it has alot more bottom end grunt with the 4:56's. I run autometer ultra-lite gauges in my...

    Deeper Tranny Pans????

    On mine I am still running the factory cooler along with the aftermarket cooler. Since your factory cooler is alot bigger than my stocker I don't think you would have any problems cooling the extra fluid. I didn't really need the additional cooler but glad I did. The electric fan really...

    Deeper Tranny Pans????

    Bama, I don't have the tranny pan you are looking at mine is an aftermarket steel pan w/ cooling tubes. (derale #14108) It holds an extra 3 quarts of fluid. I installed my aftermarket cooler w/fan first and that's where I noticed the biggest drop in tranny temps. The aftermarket pan helped...

    Oil Pan Replacement

    To the best of my knowledge you have to remove the motor or lift the motor up about a foot off the motor mounts to install a new pan. I have seen several different 7.3's with rotten/ leaking pans.

    Lift Kit ?s

    My tires are 15.5's. Definetly go with completely new rear springs the add-a-leafs and/or block setups are junk. You also might want to consider investing in rear traction bars. I run a combo of skyjacker, superlift, and pro-comp in my superduty and have had no problems yet. I also have an...

    Lift Kit ?s

    I have installed a fair amount of lifts and the cheaper ones always seem to have problems. Sagging springs (both leafs and coils), broken mounts and brackets, crapy shocks, etc. I have always had good luck with skyjacker, superlift and pro-comp. (Pro-comp does tend to ride a little stiffer...

    I have been thinking for awhile about putting stacks on my truck. Does anybody know off hand who has the best prices? I'm thinking on going with a GrandRock kit with 36X7" mitre cuts. I need everything right from the turbo back. The cheapest price I can find is $699 for the stack kit plus...

    lift tire size question

    I ran 37X13.5's on 16x10" wheels with a 6" lift and just had to trim back the factory bumper skirt. I had no problems clearing my 38x15.5's on 20x10" wheels with an aftermarket bumper and 8" of lift. Currently I run about 10" of lift and have just enough room to clear 39.5's.

    Lockers

    I donot have any diff mods done to my PSD besides gears but I have had ARB air lockers in the front and rear of a couple off-road toys (fullsize trucks) and had very good luck with them. They are a little pricey compared to some of the others but well worth the extra coin.

    tire opinions for an 07 dually

    I have never had much luck with BFG's, always had good luck with michelins, and never ran any firestones. Right now my winter tires are Pro-comp all-terrians they seem to be wearing really well (already have 2 winters on them) and have a decent all-season tread. Just my :2c
