    anyone know if they have issue with the door handle where it ran out of grease in it? Because I pull the door open, and I let the door handle go. It was make this squeak noise... man so annoying.. just wondering what type of grease to use? It had a lot of dirt in the door handle itself!

    I think they use this grease called white grease on door jams. If not I have in the past when I had a similar problem with my door and it worked.

    I've done plenty of searching on this but I'm looking for some responses from Jersey people (being you know the winters we have). My truck came with the stock Dunlop AT20's. So far in the rain, I wasn't impressed as even my 4 cylinder with the five speed spun the tires at every intersection. Are these tires absolutely rediculuous in the Jersey snow (ie hardpacked wet snow)? I'm debating if I should just replace them now before we get any bad weather. Also, I'm looking at the Hankook ATM RF10's. Anyone have these? How do they perform? Is there a bad drop in mpgs? I'm looking at going from the 245/70r16s to the 265/75r16's.

    Thanks.

    After the winter we had last year, i couldnt wait to replace the 245 dunflops. I replaced them with 265/75/R16 MasterCraft AT2. I noticed a big difference even in the rain

    Had them through last winter and I thought they were sub par in the snow. Traction wasn't very good even with the 4x4 engaged. The VSC kept coming on. I wanted to get a new set of tires for this winter but had to buy 4 new tires for the wife's car instead.

    What kind of mpg drop did you see going from the 245's to the 265's? That's the only thing keeping me from doing it right now. I know it's gonna drop some cause it's a heavier tire. Just hoping it doesn't do like my '99. My '99 with the V6 was getting 16 mpgs with 31x10.5 BFG A/T's. Granted it was a heavier truck with heavier tires and a bigger engine, but I'm liking the 22-23 mpgs I'm getting with this truck.
