If you're not ready to replace all the tires, check around the used tires shops, you may find one at a reasonable price that will carry you until all 4 are worn out. Being the factory installed tires, there's a real possibility you'll even find a another Dyna-pro ATM. Or check Marketplace...
Very handy item to have. No photos on the Ranger, but super helpful for the 16 foot 83lb beast kayak. I used for it a bunch of other things too, but the kayak was the inspiration to buy it.
There are two types I know of, dripless which from my understanding is wax like or wax based, and an oil based which runs and creeps after application, seeping into the areas that didn’t get a direct spray. I go to Krown which uses an oil based. Then I use spray cans of Fluid Film to get the...
Every 15 year old truck in Canada with no annual rust proofing will have the same rust as that does. Probably worse if it was in a high salt use area. That's not unique to Tie-Yoda.
It's not about just thinking of myself, I am happy to help anyone in need. I carry things based on probability of need, and not always 'my' need. I carry recover straps, shovel and gear in my truck all the time, to help pull others out of trouble more so than myself. I carry a booster pack to...
If you are not burning or leaking oil, why carry extra in the truck? I've been driving 35+ years, with many, many beaters and scrappers in that time. I have never spontaneously needed oil for any of them. Also in 5 years of tow trucking, never ran into a broke down vehicle that was repaired by...
They want to limit when you can charge, then they will take power from your car when you do plug in. Brilliant!
I wish I was s-m-r-t like California, lol.
Mine has been very slow to boot up a few times since I got the black screen of death a few weeks ago. It's interesting to me that it started just after the last update came out, but I haven't done the update. I was going to do the update a few days ago, hoping to fix the errors, but having read...
Tire shops probably won't fix that, but I'd absolutely stick a plug in it and not worry about it. Unless you street racing and drifting your truck, it would probably hold for 10s of thousands of miles.
Long haul is a long way from EV, but what % of trucks are long haul? Three million semis in the USA, I'd bet less than half average over 300 miles per day.
Then there's 10 million straight trucks, probably less than 20% average 300 miles per day.
Currently there is ~300,000 new trucks sold...
For an emergency use spare, diameter is the major factor, width is less important, and lots of members are running 285/70-17 on factory rims, so fit shouldn't be an issue.
265/70-18 is 32.6 so 235/85R17 (32.7) or 255/75R17 (32.1) or 275/70R17 (32.2) should all work as a spare, but far less...
Unable to locate one, or unable to find a compatible size? 285/70-17 is essentially a perfect match and a very common size. Used tire shops should have options, or a very short waiting list to get one.
1" may work, but may not. Test drive and check for error messages in the only way to be sure.
One more thank you to an awesome R5G member @my2fish . He was super helpful ordering and accepting my tail lights from Anzo, then being available for me to come get them.
I picked them up today, but have 3 more wheeling trips scheduled this year, one at least carries a real possibility of body...
This has not been my experience.
A month after I bought the truck, I added 6 new wheels/tires, all with brand new TPMS. The dealer never had the truck. I dropped off the wheels and picked them up the next day, then installed them on the truck myself. After a drive, they all connected.
A year...
I jut did the same a few weeks ago for a bunch of wires, but from the passenger side. It's very easy from the passenger side to run the wires, but you have the extra step of dropping or removing the glove box. I removed mine because it's only 2 slide pins that hold it in, and was easier to just...
I had 3 stick gauges kicking around for years that just kept getting moved to each subsequent vehicle. I haven't used any of them for a decade or more, but recently tested them all against the dial gauge attached to my inflator. One was 6 psi over, one 2 psi over, one 4 psi under. The truck...
