What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

If I was to go all the way down to the lower garage to get a xacto knife out of my tool box, then I could have just grabbed my snap on needle nose and been done with it....

But I did keep the green thingy's (locking cap) incase I want to re install them later, I was just too lazy to do much more than install the new bulbs for now, plus I was doing it while about to go out for food... lol

 

This is only a [potential] issue for different sized tires on the same axle for long periods of time...

 

I could make it my spare sure but I haven’t noticed or felt any imbalance with it on. It’s the same size 265/75/16 as the 3 KO2’s, it’s 3 pounds lighter than the KO2’s but once again I don’t feel any difference. Soon after getting that tire on I put a lift on my truck and got an alignment and don’t notice any drift with the lighter tire

 

Speaking as a guy who uses a LT235/85R16 winter tire as my spare year round, I don't think running a not-exact match on the same axle is terrible for a short time.

But if you're going to keep using it, I'd suggest getting a second KO3 and running them both on the rear, then move the surplus KO2 to the spare.

 

Just make sure by looking at all 4 that they are either all 4 LT's or P's in front of the 265/75R16...

EDITed to say..
Just go back to Discount Tire and ask them to order the correct tire that they messed up installing and when it comes in have them install it, they should be happy to take care of you... Just tell them the old ball tire was just at temp until the one you paid for came in... They may or may not give you the old ball, at least at a discounted price...

If you don't think 3 pounds is a lot, take a 3 pound weight and tie a 15" string/rope to it and then swing it around in a circle... Or put it this way, would you allow them to use 3 pounds of weights to balance one tire... That 3 pound difference can/will affect the brakes in an emergency/panic braking maneuver...

 

Right, which is why I said "for long periods of time"

And I'm not the one running the BFG KO2/KO3...that would be @99kx250

 

I’d do as said above and tell Discount to put the matching tire on the truck as soon as they get one in. Which they prolly got already but you prolly already got the Wildpeaks on there or are on the way?. Frankly I’m surprised they did that and would love to hear (or read) the story behind the torn bead they messed up.

 

Or why they (Discount Tire) would put one different tire on the truck, instead of at least two of a different tire, and order a replacement for the one they messed up, and call when it arrived and make it all good.

 

No I have 3 almost new KO2s and 1 brand new KO3 on there currently

 

Put DD rear taillight LED's in and 3rd brake light. What a difference

 

These buckets are great, I'm surprised you've never had one. Honestly I ran across these just by chance myself...

Oh my gosh your skill level way beyond me. What are you doing to that transmission?

 

Does it work? The noodle

 

Yes! Big bang for buck$.

 

OK you jokers is this what your talking about and what the shit do I do with it?
Found one of my daughters old pool noodles in the garage. I think there’s another one up on the shelf. Wtf do I do with it???? And I wanna see pics not some hey stuff it in here right above here and burn it on the exhaust here. Let’s see the goods

 

Get ready for the jokers to tell you all kinds of things you can do with it!

 

K that’s funny right there

 

Oh you funny me laugh hard look my big black noodle too small got bigger noodle now work good no slip out. Look my big blue noodle now.

 

Got an option for ya, I just purchased a BDRM from a fellow TW member oostroma that has a piece that screws onto said BDRM, that fits perfectly behind the trim around the AC vent that will provide just what you are looking for. Don’t have any pictures yet, waiting on some Ram connectors to ship to get it all set up. Check it out, I’m very pleased with the fit with the BDRM

 

Iron man foam cell pro setup with their heavy duty leaf springs and coil springs were finally installed/finished being installed today. Took close to 20 hours of solo driveway labor to make it happen. I’m hoping it settles a bit over the next couple thousand miles, but hey, no more Dakar squeak from my previous OME setup. Getting some driveline vibes at 25mph which is probably from the lift being higher than previously (2in to 3in). I have some extra U-joint shims that I may play around with or even add washers to the screws.

 

Beautiful!
