I would run some ribbed 235/85/16 on the front and AT 265/75/16 on the back and forget about rotating tires.
I would only run the ribbed in your rear....Quote:

So, what's the latest on stock replacement fuel pumps for dodge 24 valve diesels? I have no interest in dogs or fass or whatever the high dollar stuff is. Last I checked everyone was all about the new Airtex pumps so I got one of them. Lasted about 20K. My 2 stock pumps lasted over 100K each. When the stock pumps went bad they did it slowly, still pumped a few psi. I pulled a plug out of the top of the fuel filter and the airtex pumps nothing. I pulled about 21,000 lbs with the old dodge Friday, sure the pump was out then but it never acted like anything was wrong. Internet search today says the airtex is crap.
we sell airtex and it is ****
On another note, a 2011 dodge 3500 came into work today because it had a check engine light on. And at 15,000 miles, there was an egr code and a airflow sensor code.
It makes this commercial laughable.

i dont think there is much in the way of stock replacements. I had a Holley Blue on mine for 3-4 years in addition to the stock pump. I went this route because it was cheaper than the FASS or AirDogs. After replacing it 4 times, i bought the AirDog Raptor.Quote:

Cool truck! Gay wheels...
Please tell me that it does not have dual pipes out the back.
Please tell me you are removing the mexicano fuell filler
It would be super clean without the duals, ghey door handles, ghey chrome gas cap, and the wheels are meh
What is it with you and mexican trucks? :flipoff2::flipoff2:
I like it and bet with a few tweeks (handles and gas cap removed) it will look great:gigem:
I only see one pic. Am I missing something?

275/65 Goodyear Wrangler AT/S Immediately noticed they are a little loud
billet door handles My only hesitation with buying this truck. Going back to stock would be nice but available cash is short at this point after the initial investment
billet antenna
billet grill
aluminum gas cap door

For maintenance, previous owner has changed the engine oil, rear diff both to mobile synthetic. The transmission cooler lines were replaced with new lines, and the fluid was switched to transynd synthetic as well; plus regularly changed out all filters including the fuel filter. All of this was done at 100k miles. I also had all 4 ball joints replaced at 101k miles, brakes checked out good, and lubed all of the joints in the suspension with synthetic grease.
In short I am very happy with the buy. Almost all of the 'mods' I would have wanted to do anyway down the line so it saves me cash and time. Some of the 'mods' I would like to reverse but that will all occur with time. This truck will last me a long time and will be able to pull the jeep and get me to work just fine.
:flipoff2:And no mexican would be able to afford this truck without the help of credit cards or some lock picks.:flipoff2:
