    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.

    285/70r17 and leveled pics?

    I like 315s and most of the time I want them, but I'm not a fan of the majority of aftermarket wheels and I don't want to actually pay for aftermarket wheels. My factory wheels are too narrow for 315s but I keep an eye out for Rebel wheels to find a deal I can't pass up. I actually found a nice...

    285/70r17 and leveled pics?

    For the BFG All Terrain the price difference is $38/tire between the two sizes (E rated) on Discount Tire. You may see an extreme price difference if you are looking at a cheaper tire that doesn't have a 285/75 option or if they make a big jump in price moving up in size. I like BFG All Terrains...

    285/70r17 and leveled pics?

    Here's my 2014 with the Eibach Pro kit and 285/70/17s. I had these tires on with stock Outdoorsman suspension for over 2 years. I want to go with 285/75/17s next.

    Oil Filter Thread

    A few months ago when I couldn't order a 20-820 I got on here and found some mention of the 20-500 and confirmed that a few folks were running it at the time. It also happens to be the same filter for our 2019 Expedition. I did get the filter to fit but it was more difficult than the 10-48 and...

    Oil Pressure Increase After Filter Change

    What is the consensus of a good oil pressure, low/high/average? I run PUP 5w30 and usually a 20-820 but have a 20-500 at the moment. At cruising speed I see 60-61psi, warm idle is 44psi in gear and 46psi in neutral. Before getting up to temp my pressure will reach into the mid 70s, but I try...

    Oil Filter Thread

    So, have I read it correctly that the RP 20-500 will fit a 2014 1500 Hemi? I usually use the 20-820 but Amazon is out of them, I'd rather run the 20-500 than the 10-48 if it fits plus it's cheaper and I'm already ordering the same filter for the 2019 Expedition.

    Unhappy with 1500 towing. Need Help

    There’s more to it than rpms, there is a mechanical advantage when turning the smaller pinion gear of the 3.92 vs 3.21. Sure, power output at any given rpm is equal but the mechanical advantage of the smaller pinion gear can reduce the need for down shifting and even allow the engine to run more...

    Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Rear Ride Quality

    Not yet, weather may be too chilly for playing this weekend so maybe I’ll get to it then. I’ll report back once I flip them and test it.

    Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Rear Ride Quality

    In the front I went from roughly 36 5/8 and 36 7/8 to 38 1/2 and 38 5/8, so less than 2 inches. The rear went from 38 9/16 and 38 15/16 to 39 1/2 on both sides, so just under an inch. I have the Outdoorsman so mine may have been a little higher than yours to start with and I also have the...

    Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Rear Ride Quality

    I have all Eibach. I got the Eibach Pro kit, 2 struts, 2 shocks, 4 coil springs.

    Thanks, hopefully switching the shocks will solve the issue.

    Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Rear Ride Quality

    I don't think the Eibach shocks have stickers at all. I do believe the installation instructions specify the shock body in the upper position but every other shock I have installed was the opposite, and this is how I installed these. Maybe swapping them will make the difference.

    Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Rear Ride Quality

    Thanks for the input. I don't feel like the handling or sway has been affected and with the little bit of extra weight I have on the rear I think the rear ride height is probably right around stock. I would think the cap and few things I have in the bed would squat it the inch that I got from...

    I'll give that a try, it may be a week or two though. Thanks.

    Eibach Pro-Truck Lift Rear Ride Quality

    As advertised the spring only gives an inch of lift but I got a little less than that. I have a fiberglass topper on the truck as well so my rear is most likely near or just below factory height.

    Break in, alarm did not go off.

    After hearing about things like this it makes me wonder if mine would go off in a similar circumstance. I know that if my windows are down and my truck had been locked from the fob and I reach through the window and open the door my alarm goes off, so I would think it would go off if broken...
