    A Shocking thread, A1 Monroe 65456

    Also it looks like the Monroe shock comes with 1” top and bottom bushing ID any thoughts on sleeving the with 1” OD bushings with a 16mm and 22mm ID’s? Couldn’t find the length of the Monroe bushing? Actually I think I found it 1 3/4” what’s the original shock bushing length?

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    Most of the blowouts are due to age. The XML’s are what came on the old original trucks from Stewart & Stevenson and those were the first trucks going up for auction and people driving on old tires.

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    Yes the XZL’s are the ones I liked most. Also comes with an extra 7/32 of tread similar to the Petlas. I was getting approximately 10% tread wear every 5,000 miles with the XZL and 15% tread wear every 5,000 miles with the Goodyear and XZL+. Currently on my Goodyears I’m averaging about 1/32...

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    You’re AWESOME. I’ve looking everywhere for that information. Very similar to the Michelin XZL. Honestly when I drove on the XZL’s they start with the most tread and wore the best meaning the least tread wear. I’ve tested both Michelins and good years and monitored the tread wear and the...

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    The main point of this is the Petlas are New 2025 tires not surplus for a reasonable price. Trying to find more data on them. We can buy plenty of surplus tires.

    Petlas 395-85 R20 tires

    Trying to do some research on these tires any information is welcome. Can be purchased NEW! For around $1,000 each. Does anyone know of someone that has used them with our wheels with the bead lock ring. Can’t find any technical information on them like bead thickness tread depth?

    Engine Pre Heating Connections?

    I was also thinking of doing this project. I currently run a diesel hydronic heater for the habitat heating and water heating. I don’t like the idea of using that one for the engine I’ve heard of bad stuff doing that. So I was thinking about adding a second one for the engine because my 120 vac...

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    I tried again yesterday on nice easy down hill 70 then 75 doing as you described still no 7th gear. Oh well. I have the 330 hp tune.

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    I’m loving the 8.5-9 mpg. It would be very difficult to change the program it would be easier if we could find a program already in use by a different vehicle with the same engine and transmission. Probably like finding a unicorn.

    Would EcoHubs benefit from reprogramming Allison shift points?

    It would have to benefit from reprogramming and getting 7th gear back in use. What speed are you able to get 7th gear to engage? I’m in a 2003, with 3.90 and eco hubs. Hit 80 tried to get it to shift into 7th and it wouldn’t so I gave up. My normal top speed is 60 and never want to go 80 again.

    M1078A1 ABS Light on

    For the ABS light check the sensors at each wheel. Sometimes they get pulled out to far and don’t sense the tone ring. Usually just tap them in further. But it has to be driven to clear the code ensuring it senses each wheel rotating.
