    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    If your asking me about the power with the 37's... then its fine for what I do. These day's I'm in no hurry to get anywhere. I have a few more little items to fix then get the truck NYSI. The trans is not shifting very well. I hope it's a vacuum leak from sitting around.

    37x 12.50R 17 tire upgrade on CUCV

    It's my farm truck and spare when the Silverado is broken. I plan to lift it. But for now I needed a little better cruise speed for my 22 mile each way commute to work on the days my POS other truck is apart. I just don't have the money to lift it yet. I had the extra cheaper fenders to cut...
