  1. Front and rear gears

    I hear yah! I just pulled a 7k trailer from California to Illinois on 33", stopping every 70 minutes to refill the tank. Between that and my truck camper, it was driving me nuts. I'd been holding out for just the gears for the front so I could do the front & back at the same time with air...
  2. Front and rear gears

    I'm jealous. ? Can't wait to do mine.
  3. Front and rear gears

    That's good to know! I was wondering if I'd have to do something hacky with forscan to adjust the tire size for the speedometer because I didn't know there was a gearing section. I'll see if I can find it and report back if I do.
  4. Front and rear gears

    Hey @Colo_Ranger , I went back through the thread but maybe missed where forscan changes were discussed. Are the forscan changes for the speedometer reading, shift patterns or something else? I've got my parts ordered and on the way, so want to make sure I'm up to speed on everything.
  5. Front and rear gears

    Oh I was face palming when I read through the early threads saying just to use the buttons to lock out gears. The frustration was palpable. Absolutely a "wtf" moment from people not understanding anything about how gears work and ridiculous arguments about how transmissions work. Seems every...
  6. Front and rear gears

    Ahhh, gotcha! Thanks! And seriously man, I can't thank you enough for starting this thread and doing the work. I'd been watching the discussion from the start, lurking, and was the biggest reason that I joined the forum overall.
  7. Front and rear gears

    Yeah I think that I will follow your plan closely. I'd like to do the 4.46 gearing at the same time as installing ARB lockers. My XLT doesn't have the rear locking differential. As far as I can tell from your write-up, it looks like I can pair the gears with ARB lockers and be good to go?
  8. Front and rear gears

    I asked Yukon about a 4.46 kit instead of the 4.88 and was told they wouldn't have 4.46 gears available in the front for at least two years.
  9. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    I have absolutely no idea what the politics are behind why any auto company would back any particular engine oil product. I honestly don't think think it's a meaningful metric. My theory for the poll results are people are buying either what they know because someone in their family does it, or...
  10. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    JFC man, you're insufferable. It's not a massive conspiracy, so you can go look it up yourself. I just ran a rudimentary Google search: Mobile 1: Group III Castrol: Group III Valvoline: Group III Shell: Group III Pennzoil: Group III+ Again, I don't claim to be some kind of expert on any of...
  11. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    It helps to have some kind of comparison matrix to look at. Here's the Top 5 oil producers and their comparable specs (according to ChatGPT). To me and my admittedly very rudimentary knowledge of oil, I don't see any major red flags... although it does appear that Amsoil performs better overall...
  12. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    That's the conclusion? I'm a shill for Amsoil? ? @Amsoil guy yo dog... apparently ya'll owe me some money!
  13. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    Putting a company's logo on a website doesn't mean the company is backing them. It doesn't even give any sort of context around what they'd be backing or what they like about that product versus any other product. Other companies try to put the company's logo that I work on their websites all...
  14. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    Dude, do you even realize this is meaningless? I went to the website, it told me the history. What's the take away? What am I supposed to understand about Amsoil by looking at Motul's website? Adding a company's logo to a website doesn't mean jack. Let's see some numbers and independent tests...
  15. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    So far all you've done is talk a lot of weird manic trash and gone on borderline schizophrenic rants. If you're going to make all kind of claims then back it up with something. "Various auto manufacturers across the world" ... wtf are you even talking about?
  16. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    Ah okay, I got it now.. this is just a troll thread. ?? That dude tested all of the major oils, went through A/B tests, adhered to adopted standards and was up front with all of his findings. Anyhow there's plenty of other independent tests out there looking at Amsoil and it's consistently the...
  17. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    I don't know what you're going on about. What am I supposed to be looking for on this Motul website? It's pretty wild that you jump to conclude that Project Farm is a paid sponsor of Amsoil. Good video to watch and short enough for the attention span of a five year old.
  18. Post your off-road pics.

    Perfect, thanks! I've been wanting to replace what I've got with one of those but couldn't remember the name "Sy-Klone".
  19. Post your off-road pics.

    Oh yes, that trail is nearby the one that I thought you might have gone up: https://maps.app.goo.gl/UF88X3mZbMo7uf4J9 I wanted to explore 7N35 but there was too much snow at the trail head earlier this year when I went. I've met a few guys that hit that trail and highly recommended it to me...
  20. The Big Oil Brand Judgement!!

    I might have missed it in the earlier threads but I didn't see where Amsoil was in comparison. I watched a series by Project Farm on YouTube and his testing methodology looked pretty solid to me, with Amsoil coming out on top.
