Re: which tire is standing up the best
What do you do with your truck? It's it's off-road mostly then Toyo MTs are great. But they are not best for mileage and on-highway. They are not terrible, but you can certainly do better for less doing mostly highway.

I’m fairly sure this is a terrible idea, but has anyone used spacers to mount surplus hmmwv beadlock wheels to a PW? Did it work? You have my attention. :popcorn: Mil surp hmmwv wheels are 16.5” with a viable bolt pattern. Iirc the hub size is a bit off, but fixable. So there was a guy on youtube w...

Re: Sway and oscillation
Yeah, I was amazed at how much it changed. With stock it was no problem at 30-35 and I think with the 37 toyos on otherwise stock it was fine at 30-35. But either the wheels or the the suspension made it highly inadvisable to run at 30-35 past about 45 mph on pavement. My bet is the suspension, but ...

Re: Going without TPMS Sensors
Third party TPMS sensors will work. You might need to clear and clear the rf list to get them to register, which requires a tool or dealer.
I’ve driven around with three sensors and had no problem with other systems. Just annoying idiot lights.

Re: Sway and oscillation
I have King 2.5s and it is more unstable at low pressure and high speed than stock. Running at 25 psi in toyo 37 MTs at 50+ mph stability control kicked in multiple times in a few miles until I slowed down. It's fine at 45-50 psi. Not saying this is what' going on, but maybe?

So I bent the bumper mount
I misjudged a step on metal masher and dented the bumper, and it shifted the right side of the bumper back and up a bit. I thought it had just shifted and I planned to loosen the mount and shift it back into place. But with the grille off and all the bolts loosened it wouldn't move and looking down ...

Re: The Height of My Garage Door-The Unexpected
Could be worse. You could have found you had about a millimeter less clearance than you needed the expensive way.
But be careful that the door is fully open, particularly when backing up.

Re: Rough Country Dual Stabilizer Kit
Thuren’s article on the issue with a lot of stabilizer kits is worth reading. Oil froth doesn’t work well, and that is what you get when you lay most shocks on their side. The OEM isn’t bad, so of you are going to change to a 3rd part you need to be sure it won’t be worse.

Re: Rear locker working again......replaced!!
Yeah, I had weird light issues, etc. Dealer diagnosed as the rear locker solenoid bad, dropped the diff, swapped it and I was off to Moab. Parts took a few days and the truck took a few days to finalize, as apparently the solution to one issue is ‘leave it off overnight’, but it got done and worked.

Re: New to truck Builds, spitball session for build ideas
You don't need a lift to run 37s. The AEV wheels are nice. Thuren is great, pro install unless you are a pretty advanced home mechanic. If you intend to go off-road then front and rear diff armor (lowest parts of the truck) and then consider sliders.

Re: AlfaOBD Discussion: 2013-2018 Change Dealer Settings Yourself: TPMS, LED, HID, Tire Size etc!
You need it to reset the rfid on a gen 4 iirc, which is needed to reset the TPMS thresholds. No idea on a gen 5. If you need it, the parts department is who can give it to you, they may want the registration and your DL as it is also needed to reprogram the security stuff. If they don’t want to give...

Re: Poll: Ram TRX vs Supercharged PW w/thuren king 37s
There was a youtube channel I followed for a while where they blew up their daily driver jeep’s engine with a crappy turbocharger. Funny how the marketing didn’t mention that ‘feature’. And no, the dealer does not cover that, but they will sell you a new engine.
