2007 f150 4.6 2v 205k Sinopec Justar J700f 5w30 full synthetic and Baldwin filters 10k intervals.

I was shocked when I rode with our driver in our Mule (2016 ram 3500 6.7 230k with all emission stuff) we were pulling a light load no more than 20k lbs combined but the load was practically a 12x8 foot wall. We were going up an 8% grade @55 mph for 5 miles oil temp reached 251° and coolant...

Just cross rotate them they usually straighten out in 1-2k miles. Keep them in the front.

No need to run them at max psi, I run mine at 65 psi, if loaded to max on the trailer 80 psi is more than enough especially on an axels that are rated no more than 3500-lbs. So Like I said to the OP save yourself the head ache and buy G rated tires.

Save yourself the headache and buy G rated tires there's a company that builds that size of tire in G rated here in the USA.

Why change? I have some trucks in my fleet with well over 400k with stock engines using the cheapest oil from Singapore some towing over their tow rating and carrying capacity.

Another option although not an MT it does great. Thunderer Ranger AT is a very aggressive AT tire, and has the best of both worlds, and it's not a loud tire on the highway either.

Man you bastards are old lol.. The first time I used straight 30 was in the late 90's in small engines. IIRC it was Pennzoil?

The guy was probably bs'ing, since the service adviser wanted to set him for a 6k OCI and he wanted a 10k, more of a "screw you pal" answer IMO.

One of our 6.0 vortecs ran low on oil a couple of times and everytime it got checked it was 3 qts low, the thing that gave it away was the lifter tick. This truck suffered from a clogged valve cover, where the PCV valve was on the older 6.0's, cleaned it and no more oil consumption, there was a...

From the tires you posted the Yokohama AT G015 is a great choice, we live in similar weather. They do great in sand,rain,wet grass and ok in mud.

Used oil smells very different than new oil, almost has a hint of gas/tar smell to it. If it smells anything like that they didn't change it.

Bad wording on my part, and yes I haven't seen a plug fail in any radial tire Ive plugged. You might have seen many fail because of installer error. This is on my fleet of trucks which consists of 50 trucks, that get punctured frequently in job site areas.
