    Good evening guys. I’m looking for opinions. I’m replacing the tires. Do I reinstall the run flats or not. Some day they ride better without. But it wouldn’t be original. I’m not really worried about someone shooting my tires but then again with this world who knows. Let me know what you think.

    It has a 3 speed transmission . But the tag says 10K Heavy Variant. It does have half shafts. I got all the fluids changed except hubs and coolant. I just found it odd the T-Case took only 2 qts except 3.5. Im assuming im good when it started running back out. Thanks for the help

    Hello. So I need an Injection pump. I know this isn’t the classified section. But my question is can they be replaced with another one that’s not the same number. For example if it’s DB2-1234 will DB2-4567 work. Reason I’m asking is is the company I’m looking at does not list the one I have...
