How, what???? How does milage come into play? Besides the differance from stock 9.00's. The 395's I got came on FMVT wheels with triangle shaped O-rings where the two halves bolt together.
Triangle - meaning triangled shaped but with the points rounded off and they are orange colored...
In the future I'll be putting 395's on fmtv wheels - 20 bolt halves / triangle shaped O-ring. I was going to find something like what Cape and Islands tire used (white-ish pasty stuff) or I was just going to go with lots of marine grease on all mating surfaces.
It sounds like the OP was having this problem before he had the fw turned (if I'm reading his first post correctly) and after he turned up the fuel. The problem has to be something else. Is the linkage to the peddle hung up or out of adj. some how?
This is a very thought provoking issue. I am not intamitely familiar with clutch issues :cookoo:, but is there any way that the throw out bearing / fork (or immediatly attached assemblies) not alowing the clutch to make full contact / pressure to give you wheel power?
How common is this issue when swapping in an LDS and adding larger tires? The theory does make sense why the clutch wouldn't slip with the 9.00 tires. I bet it does if you applied the hand brake (no matter what size tire)?
How about you take your camper wire and attach it to L1 and L0 and then take your shop wire and connect it to L1, L3, and L0. To run your camper, turn the reconnect switch to 120v single phase. To run everything, or just the shop set up, turn the reconnect switch to 120/240v single phase...
If you're just going to push the bumper forward and make room for storage, how hard would it be to find material/channel the right size and radiused corners? Then you could drill your own holes into the new extentions to make it all work. If you go this route, the bumper will remain at the...
Memphis / Saturn? (or any of the other vendors) will get you fixed up. The valve cover gaskets are a very thick rubber (like the diameter of a pencil). You'll know them when you see one.

What????????
I'm not out to offend anyone. I was just suggesting that the shop doing the wheel mods. just duplicated the same back spacing the original wheels had. And, I was trying to be light hearted in saying that...
Really you need to see if the linkage on the IP is bottoming out at WOT from the peddle and verify if your tach is correct. I wouldn't question or tear into any significant mechanical workings until you can verify that your good to that point. Obviously you replaced the fuel filters (did you...
I might have sorta had some luck when registering my truck (who am I kidding, I'm the one paying thousands!). The truck I had before was a 2005 F350 dump with 6 wheels. I got rid of that and transfered the same plate to my deuce, which coincodently has 6 wheels, (who'd a thought). So there...
It seems to me that when the rim company was hired to modify the 5t wheels that who ever didn't do enough research to find that a 5t is different than a 2.5t and needs different back spacing. And in my humble opinion, it seems as if some one was greedy and went with gigantor tires that can't...
"will not be used primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods." does this prohibit the - I'll drive my truck where ever and when ever the heck I want cause I want to? Because if your not involved in business with it then most folks should be good with that. I could never get over...
Wow, thats a lot!
It almost seems that if you look at your truck wrong the fronts will rub just sitting there! What size tires are those? You don't seem to have much room for articulation in the front. How much tire would be outside the fenders if you could flip them around? Meaning, make...
Aghhhhh! that stinks about the wheel rub, they look nice. How about longer studs and a 1/2" thick plate (or whatever) between the hub and the rim. The plate could be drilled for the 6 hole pattern and placed between the axle hub and the wheel rim and using longer studs it would all suck in...
Just a tip, ATF - auto trany fluid is a great (as said on here) cleaner for fuel parts, check some other posts refering to adding atf to the tank. It may help clean out some gunk.
Hows the air filter?
