Interesting, yeah, I guess it's just bent different. It's hard to move, but it works. Thanks for the Lariat battery cover part number. I'm still using my old battery cover, with a few gaps where I cut it to fit, but I'll plan on getting the bigger one.
Thanks for the tip! I found the...
OK, I guess I'm the guinea pig on this forum for the new DuraTracs. They look great, in my opinion. Louder than the stock Hankooks, but not obnoxiously loud. Here they are in 265/70/18. Same width as stock, and mounted on my stock wheels, about 2 inches greater in diameter. (I also...
Load Range describes a tire's construction and the number of plys, but modern tires use stronger material so it's not necessarily true that more plys means higher carrying capacity. More plys will typically mean a heavier tire which will reduce mpg fuel rating. It's helpful to compare a tire's...
This is the original battery from my '21 XLT and it is 3 years old. I bought a new battery because my ASS stopped working and I was getting messages about systems being turned off to preserve the battery. In hindsight, I should have just kept this battery and put it on a charger. After I...
I put the bigger Lariat battery in my XLT. I got an Interstate battery from Costco for $170.
My original stock battery is 3 years old. For the past several months, the Auto Stop Start has not been working, the chimes randomly sound different with a harsh clangy sound, and I've been getting...
Thanks for the great review! I don't have new rubber yet because I have fallen down a rabbit hole that may be familiar to some - I decided to get more than just new tires. Now I'm getting a full lift kit and suspension upgrade and I'm considering 265/70/18 tires. Mickey Thompson Baja Boss...
Yeah, I'm considering the new Goodyear now too. It's a few pounds lighter than the Wildpeak at the same load index, probably thanks to the kevlar. But also a bit more expensive. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has tried these.
I have the Hankooks on my '21 Ranger. Currently have about 22k miles. Plenty of tread left, but the rubber is getting hard and starting to crack on the outside of the tires, so I'll be replacing them soon.
I did consider the DuraTrac. It would be a good tried and true choice, but I decided to look at newer tires. I think the industry has perhaps improved the compounds and the technology in the last few years.
I'm bored with the stock Hankook tires, and I'm ready to upgrade. I've got the FX/4 package with 18" wheels, no lift, no leveling kit, just the stock FX/4. I'm looking at increasing the tire size from the stock 265/60-18 to 265/65-18, because, why not? It's the same width as stock and about...
Nope, that's not mine. Must be my twin. It's way too clean to be mine :-) I think I saw it on the dealer's lot briefly about a month or so ago. I'm glad to see someone else has great taste.
Did you ever figure this out? My brand new truck, less than 3,000 miles and bone-stock, just started doing this. It starts as a kind of chirping squeak that sounds mechanical, maybe a suspension component. And then turns into a squealing that sounds like a belt. Just like the sound-clip that...
