I dropped and filled the trans today. Took a lot longer than I remember it did on my old truck. I did a complete drain and fill over the summer, also switched to dexron 4, just never got around to changing the filter. Not a whole lot of clutch material on the mag or in the filter. Not bad for almost 200k on the trans

Checked the brakes on the 04 HD, pad slapped the front.

Zombie blood by the looks of it.

Hopefully buying a set of wheels, and tires from a guy at work. My wheels are corroded really bad, and the tires are shot. $550 for the set with everything. Tires have 80% tread left. They are like the wheels pictured on this truck.

We got those exact wheels with worn out Goodyear's for about $200. I suggest checking tire shops in your area in case they have a set lying around. Your friend is going to make some $$$ with this favor. Just mho.

With tires the price isnt bad.

[kstruckcountry]

If they are decent tires. If they are Goodyears I'd pay more for bare rims.

Don't remember where I saw it on this site but liked the idea of someone adding the lights in the rear bumper steps so I decided to do something similar. Also decided to add some interior colored floor lighting.

Not buying these now because I don't like how they look.

 

Instead Discount Tire has a bunch of rebates on Coopers right now. I really like the ATP, but it doesn't come in 6 ply just a SL or E load range. I've always bought the SL load range before, and never had a problem, but I'd like to step up to a 6ply C range this time. Only problem with that is AT³'s are the only ones in C, and they cost more than the load range E ATP. Load range E is way to overkill for me, but the cheaper cost is pulling me in.

 

I don't really want to spend $700 on tires that will probably dry rot before the tread is shot. Decisions decisions...

Gave it a much needed bath!

Go ahead and get a man's tire. 15k on my ATP's and no flats yet. Had 5 flats on one tire with the old goodyears.

 

I tow my 20 foot jonboat (maybe 500 lbs total, and I can pick up the tongue), and rarely anything else. The 10 ply tires corner better and are a lot tougher. I run about 37 front and 33 rear to get the right contact. Plus if you go off road you can actually air them down. I put a little extra air in the back if I'm hauling much. Most people around where I'm from wouldn't even consider running anything less than a 10 ply tire.

 

How much can you get the ATP's for? I payed $185 I think. The dry traction isn't the best and they've gotten louder but I still would buy them again at that price.

Do yours bulge bad at all running 37psi? My current AT³'s are 10 ply, and they bulge really bad at 40psi. I think it's because their junk, and worn out though.

 

With the instant rebate, and Visa gift card they'll end up being $628.00

37 in the front:

33 in the back:

I don't pay much attention to the way the sidewalls look. I just go off of the "chalk test". If I drive somewhere and I can see there is still gravel dust on part of the tread I let out air. And these pressures seem to give good contact on my pickup.

 

I found some dirty dirt roads this weekend.
