Thanks for all the advice. Still have not decided. I think I am almost sick of looking at tire, almost. I am still torn between the cooper atp and zeon. I wish I could see the ATP in person but they are no where around here. I have spoken the guys at discount tire direct numerous times and it...

I think I have narrowed it down to the cooper discover atp, cooper discoverer at3, or cooper zeon ltz. Just on looks, I like the zeon. The atp has the tread of the zeon but made with the newer compound of the at3. at3 and atp price are about the same. Zeon is about 20 more per tire. I also am...

I just dont understand why I stopped coming to BITOG for advice. I love this site. Thanks for all the suggestions and advice. No, I am not loaded. MPG's are a concern but it is not a dailey driver. I have a issued work car but I am all for saving money. The 20's came stock on the truck as an...

I know. I just like the look. I am not a big mud bug. I just like to have in case I might need it, or might want to use it. Ha. I will check out the other tires that were mentioned as well. All suggestions are welcome and appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. It is a lot for a tire. I like the 20 inch rims though. I guess it is time to start saving for them. I wish I could find a good used set. I will keep an eye out while I am saving for the new ones. Thanks for everybody's comments.

Thanks guys. I am looking for something with some aggressivness to them but will still give a decent highway ride.The Coopers that I mentioned I can get for about 232 per tire. That is mounted and balanced.

Hi guys. It has been a while. I just got a new to me truck, 2008 Chevy Silverado LT 4x4 with 20 inch wheels. I am looking into some new tires. It has Goodyear Eagle on now. They have a smooth ride but just do not do the truck justice. Was looking at Cooper Zeon LTZ possibly. Anyone have these or...

Hope this is the right area to post this. When should you use seafoam in your oil, before or after an oil change, or does it matter? If before, how many miles would you go before you changed the oil? Thanks.

What is everybodys opinion on advance auto parts filter. The one painted orange. I think it is made by Puralator. How does it compare to supertechs, Mopar m090, Puralators for 5000 oci?

Me and my friend changed it out this afternoon. Everything went pretty well and so far not leaking. It took about two hours. The hardest part was getting the nut to break free between the fan and water pump.

It has about 150000 miles on it. It has a timing chain, not a belt. I think it is leaking a little fluid either from the top of the water pump or from the bypass hose, I really can not tell exactly where untill I can get a few things off.

I AM GOING TO HAVE TO PUT A NEW WATER PUMP ON THE 00 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH A 5.2 ENGINE TOMORROW AFTERNOON. mE AND A FRIEND ARE GOING TO DO IT. aNY ADVICE OR TIPS OR TRICKS ANY HAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. i HAVE CHANGES ALL THE HOSES EXCEPT THE BYPASS HOSE AND WILL CHANGE THAT WHEN WE DO THE...

Took the truck to the shop the other day. They said there was slight wear in the upper and lower ball joints but for no more than I was using it it should be fine for for some time. they did find a large amount of mud caked up on the inner left front wheel. They removed all the mud, rotated the...

Thanks for the concern. I have not taken it to the shop yet. I went by the local Yamaha shop and they said it would be about 175.00 if they did not need any parts for the carb. I would take it to the local Honda shop but the Yamaha shop has a better reputation around here. One local independant...

Thanks, I will google it and see where I can get it.
