    pyrometer probe location

    Several ways. Some say do it with the engine running so it blows the chips out. Some say use a vacuum and suck the chips while drilling and tapping. Some say pack the flutes with grease to make the chips stick to the grease and wipe frequently. I watch a machinist on yt and he uses cutting...

    Tire options and where to buy

    I personally dont want ctis, or i wouldnt have yarded all ctis components off my tck and tires. But hopefully someone else might find your post very useful if they want to adapt the lmtv wheels to use with their ctis.

    Tire options and where to buy

    If you get 395s on the lmtv wheels and dont want the ctis hooked then you’ll have to either swap valve stems out for something that has an internal valve core, or find an adapter that threads onto the lmtv valve stem. I went to several tire shops in my area, including those that service big...

I had lmtv wheels with 395s, but the valve stem body needed...

    TX Insurance premium increase

    Well, after a lengthy call with progressive, evidently some jackboot agency called tx dept of insurance and their bean counters determine what insurance providers must charge for insurance premiums. They are next on my list to call to see what burr got under their saddle.
