Most of the blowouts are due to age. The XML’s are what came on the old original trucks from Stewart & Stevenson and those were the first trucks going up for auction and people driving on old tires.

Yes the XZL’s are the ones I liked most. Also comes with an extra 7/32 of tread similar to the Petlas. I was getting approximately 10% tread wear every 5,000 miles with the XZL and 15% tread wear every 5,000 miles with the Goodyear and XZL+. Currently on my Goodyears I’m averaging about 1/32...

You’re AWESOME. I’ve looking everywhere for that information. Very similar to the Michelin XZL. Honestly when I drove on the XZL’s they start with the most tread and wore the best meaning the least tread wear. I’ve tested both Michelins and good years and monitored the tread wear and the...

https://simpletire.com/brands/petlas-tires/rm910/p/257365 The petlas are available and ready to ship just need technical data on them. And anyone with experience with Petlas.

The main point of this is the Petlas are New 2025 tires not surplus for a reasonable price. Trying to find more data on them. We can buy plenty of surplus tires.

The above part numbers are all the various o-rings needed to do the job. Some are not listed in the diagrams below but are needed. The above diagram and parts list shows some but not all of the o-rings needed. Hope this helps anyone in the future.

Trying to do some research on these tires any information is welcome. Can be purchased NEW! For around $1,000 each. Does anyone know of someone that has used them with our wheels with the bead lock ring. Can’t find any technical information on them like bead thickness tread depth?

I was also thinking of doing this project. I currently run a diesel hydronic heater for the habitat heating and water heating. I don’t like the idea of using that one for the engine I’ve heard of bad stuff doing that. So I was thinking about adding a second one for the engine because my 120 vac...

I missed you, 6 weeks ago we were in Tucson. We left flagstaff area yesterday heading towards Taos, NM. Then continuing north. I’m still running my original 100 amp alternator with 42,000 miles on her. Would have loved to got your 100 amp alternator for a spare. But shipping costs and not...

Where are you located?

I tried again yesterday on nice easy down hill 70 then 75 doing as you described still no 7th gear. Oh well. I have the 330 hp tune.

I’m loving the 8.5-9 mpg. It would be very difficult to change the program it would be easier if we could find a program already in use by a different vehicle with the same engine and transmission. Probably like finding a unicorn.

It would have to benefit from reprogramming and getting 7th gear back in use. What speed are you able to get 7th gear to engage? I’m in a 2003, with 3.90 and eco hubs. Hit 80 tried to get it to shift into 7th and it wouldn’t so I gave up. My normal top speed is 60 and never want to go 80 again.

For the ABS light check the sensors at each wheel. Sometimes they get pulled out to far and don’t sense the tone ring. Usually just tap them in further. But it has to be driven to clear the code ensuring it senses each wheel rotating.

So if it runs, drives, brakes properly then focus on the legal driving aspects like blinkers, brake lights wipers, fluids full, tires are in good shape and holding air. (From personal experience no tires older than 10 years) etc. It trans flush can wait till your home. Drive on none interstate...

So much we don’t know about the truck. Does it run?

That’s a good looking engine! Nicely done!

Still all together way cheaper base vehicle than any other option. Thanks for sharing.
