Well, I had discount tire put on the Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 on today. had them on my Tundra too.
First thing I noticed was the steering felt smoother.
Then before I was out of the parking lot the rains came. No issue driving home.
Only gripe I have is the cheap tireshine they put on...
tires are at 32 cold
Crew cab, 5.5 ft, 4wd
I'll have to wait till I have wet roads and cargo to tell if it's empty only issue, but the cap weighs about 200 lbs.
Background:
Truck was purchased used. PO was a local town government (mayor's vehicle).
Original tires were replaced by them with National Commando Tires.
Tires only have around 20K on them and nowhere near the wear limit indicators.
I added a Ranch cab height camper shell, so some weight on...
Funny
I went up to Tuscaloosa to buy a triumph spitfire. The uhaul guy said he couldn't rent me a trailer because he couldn't confirm my 3500 Duramax Dually could pull it.
Seems triumphs were never loaded into there database.
Luckily the hitch installer heard our conversation and told him to...
I actually have a tongue weight scale to get my true weight once loaded.
So the trailer hitch load empty is either:
1) nothing in the trailer and no battery or propane (what should be the published tongue weight)
or
2) nothing in the trailer but battery and propane insalled/filled (propane...
The problem with "trailer hitch load empty", is the manufacturers still play number games. You have to get into the footnoteds to get the real answer. They publish weight and hitch weight as it leaves the factory. In the foot notes (keystone for example) they say add 90 to 110 pounds to the...
When I got the truck (22 XL/STX) it only worked up to 6 miles an hour. After a change in Forscan it worked regardless of speed but had a black box in the middle of the screen. One more change and that was gone.
Please explain how switching the input phases to the service panel disconnects the neutral and ground. Considering the installation requires the generator ground to be tied to the same earth ground.
I installed the backfeed kit from Square D. pretty simple, you just need to order the kit for your specific box. You also need to have the first two slots on the right available. Had to move some breakers down on the right side in my case.
It prevents you from having the main and backfeed...
I installed a Anytone AT-778U. I split the unit anfd put the main part behind the seat and the head unit under the HVAC. Closed both parts with 3D printed covers. They connect by a 10 pin ribbon cable. If you look you can see the remote speaker tucked in behind the mic.
The cover for the...
On mine (XL/STX) it turns on the rear camers at speeds up to 6 mph forward. Above 6 camera turns off.
But I did the camera at speed mod and removed the black message box so now when I press the button while in drive it stays on.
I went with the Interstate H7 for my STX. Always done well with Interstate and at $169.99 from Costco no one could beat it. Tried to use the H6 blanket and it ripped. Got The bigger one ( KL3Z10A687B ). fit great.
My dealer called and asked me to bring the truck by for a free air filter replacement. They followed up asking if they could come by the house and do it.
Yeah, Montgomery is the basstion of firearms rights (LOL).
They recently passed a local ordinance that you must be able to produce picture ID if you have a gun in you possession. If not the gun will be confiscated. And if you can't produce picture ID, PROOF of ownership and $150 it will be...
One City: According to new statistics from the State Trauma Registry, from January through the end of May there were 203 gunshot wounds treated at emergency rooms in Montgomery (That's more than one a day)
Add 27 murders.
Yep, it's safe out there.
