    Feature Truck (06-16-05) Kevin Anderson "Monmix"

    3 Q'S??? Used BFG A/T K/O's w/30-40% remaining

    Thanks for the speedy reply! What if their closer to 40% :D Still not worth it? Hard to clear with my stock set-up? The rear is sagging like a typical sport. Nothing out of the ordinary. Sorry for the 100,000,000,000,000th time question. J

    3 Q'S??? Used BFG A/T K/O's w/30-40% remaining

    I could really use your help here, and I know I'm at the right place ;) I found a complete set of used BFG's 265/75/16's for $100 CAD / $79 USD. 1. Should I buy them with this much wear for the money? 2. What is a full tread measurment so I can compare with the used? 3. Can I fit these in...

    Under Steer? & Problems!

    Thnx for the input! If I had it my way, and I just might...it's going to look like a V8, manual 5spd, 2 wheel drive s/c'd ex sport. Thinking of parking some time soon to do this. :thumbsup: Cheers! J

    Under Steer? & Problems!

    Thanks for the reply! R&P = Rack & Pinion Yeah these tires were new about 5 months ago. I bought the yokahama geo's and they wore out to fast for my liking. So the tires are uneven with wear due to poor alligment when I busted a tierod. I'm at fault for that. I'll check into the tire...

    Under Steer? & Problems!

    So anywho... I removed the front driveshaft last night and my steering/binding problem disappeared. So, at this point I'm thinking my transfercase and hubs are faulty. I'm a little slugish for performance, and feel like something is causing friction in the driveline, but I have no problems...

    Mystery screeching noise on start up..

    Mine is also doing this...and I also think it is the starter crapping out on me. Could this metelic screech at start up be caused by a poor flex plate in an auto tranny in contact with the starter? Also, mine has progressed to almost every start-up. On'y after very recent driving the...

    Son of a Gun!!! How big is to big for flat repair???

    My thoughts exactly! I appreciate "everyones" concern with this, and you have made me think hard about driving with the repaired tire on the truck. I have heard most people say it's not a big deal to have a flat fixed by plugging it. That was the original concern I had with my first flat with...

    Son of a Gun!!! How big is to big for flat repair???

    Just thought I'd update this topic after a very pro-longed repair. End's up that a plug was good enough to stop the leak. LOL...but in the opposing side of the same tire, there was a nail stuck in sideways without puncturing a hole. Thanks for your input!!! I guess I really needed sense of...
