New owner torn on a new truck.

Ooof sorry to hear that man. I cant imagine how hard that is. I almost lost my mom last year and that was bad enough. Cant imagine just watching a parent waste away....I know that beer offer is not much, but if your ever in my neck of the woods its good anytime you need or want it. Hell ill even break out my good cigars.

 

Like i said not saying your wrong. Just my experince with anything detroit save pre emissions has been entirely bad. Hell when i was at the post office we got 50 new ones. Not ONE made it past 250k without a new engine. And every single one spent as much time on the hook as on the road. The one me and dad got was the worst of the lot though. Which is funny because we got 50 new paccars the next year and they were rock solid.

Meanwhile my pete.....nough said.

 

Also little update. The code went inactive after i drove a few miles and hasnt come back in almost 3500 miles now and hasnt had a 2nd read. So ima ignore it till it goes in for its PM and just have them check then.

 

Yup still inactive with 1 read. Ima chock it up to an electrical fault. In other news i managed to snap an S-cam on my trailer. Apparently the old one was so corroded the adjuster snapped clean off. Thats a first.

 

What do you guys think of swapping my 285/75 r 22.5s out for 11r225s? Been eyeballing the bridgestone m799s or michlin X works D. Kinda leaning towards the michlins tbh just because ive had issues with bridgestones in the past.

My chinese maypops are getting kinda worn after 60k miles and i got maybe another 20k left in em so ima need to do all 10 here soon.

 

Ill take a look at those. Though my local tire shop is saying its going to be $6100 for 8 continentals $6600 for michlins and $6700 for the bridgestones with my discount. Know anywhere i can get 8 of em cheaper?

 

Too soft. Ive used them before and between gravel and scrap if i can get 20k out of a set its a shock
