    Rear Springs for Lift and Tow

    I have the Eibach kit front and rear. The front is raised 2 inches and with the Eibach springs the rear still sits 1.5 inches or so higher, I also have a fiberglass cap. With my 285/70/17s it pretty much looks factory since the height and tires both increased and there is still some rake. The...

    diff fluid change on a 3.21

    It looks like on the Redline website when entering my truck info it shows the 75W85 for hypoid limited slip differentials for my front axle. So I suppose I’ll go ahead and use what I have.

    diff fluid change on a 3.21

    This is would be for the front. I already put the 140 in the rear. I’m interested in opinions of putting the fluid with friction modifiers in the front with no limited slip.

    diff fluid change on a 3.21

    So I ordered gear oil for my truck but wound up ordering the 75W85 with friction modifier that I intended to use in the front differential. Would it be an issue to go ahead and use this or should I return and get the 75W90 NS fluid. It would save me about $10 if I exchanged.

    Paid for!

    Prices have gotten crazy. I bought a new 2011 tradesman 4x4 with Cummins for $36k. I probably should have hung on to that one, new versions are now $55k+. I traded it in 2014 because I didn't have much need for the diesel anymore for my 2014 Outdoorsman 1500. I paid around $34k after rebates and...

    Thoughts on the Hemi engine cover

    I always have what I believe are squirrel paw prints in my engine bay.

    Oil Filter Thread

    With RP filters and 5W-30 PUP I see 45-46psi hot idle and 60-61psi at 75 mph. This has been with the 10-48, 20-820, and 20-500. The 10-48 may have been 1 psi lower at idle and interstate from what I remember, but I only used that filter once. From posts I've seen on the forum my pressures seem...

    Oil Filter Thread

    Thanks, I'll have to look around more when it's time to change again, which may be a while since I just changed the oil about a month ago and I generally put around 5k or less miles a year on my truck. I bought PUP 5W-30 from Walmart once but Amazon has usually been cheaper when I'm looking to...

    Oil Filter Thread

    Is the 20-820 available anywhere? My 2014 1500 Outdoorsman fits the 20-500 fine and I've used it twice now, maybe 3 times I don't remember. I'll probably stay with the 20-500 since that is what our 2019 Expedition takes as well, unless the 20-820 become readily available again or someone on...

    Anyone running 285/70 on OEM 17" rims?

    I've been on 285/70/17 E-rated KOs for 3 or 4 years and 25k miles. They handle great. I run around 40-42 psi. The tire doesn't give any appearance that they are too wide for the rim. Next go around I'll step up to 285/75s, or if I can find a good deal on Rebel rims I may get them and step up to...

    Oil pressure question

    I’ve got 70k now, it’s had the start up tick for a while but started getting loud and more prolonged maybe 3-4k ago. It’s quiet within 20 seconds after start up though. In the beginning, maybe around 30k, it would tick only if it had set for a week or more, now it’s pretty much any time it’s set...

    Oil pressure question

    ^Agree, I have a 2014 and it notes 5W30. Oil pressure wise I run PUP 5W-30 with royal purple filter, warm idle is around 45/46psi and with the cruise set at 75/80 this see 60/61 psi. It’s smooth and quiet. I do need to pull the passenger side manifold though to machine flat and replace bolts...

    285/70 sounds like it will work great for you.
