    Posting ? for a friend

    Posting for a friend with a 24 valve with Schied's stage 2 injectors. I'm 12 valve smart and 24 valve illiterate so sorry for the question but - He sees about a quart of diesel in the oil with short 100 - 200 mile drives. He seems to think it is not a problem but I don't think there should...

    another tire question

    What major advantage/disadvantage would there be to running a 305/70-16 vs. a 285/75-16 size tire. I don't want to add a lift kit to clear 315's or a 35" tire. debating between BFG AT, Goodyear Duratrac or Dunlop rover MT Maxx. Truck has good HP and 4.88 gears. Given the extra bite on the...
