They usually stop pretty good. Lots of brake dust and noise is probably what you'd have to deal with.

Any idea what shipping on the leaves would be to 42716 zip?

I had something similar happen and it ended up being the brakes. It would only do it on occasion after a sharp turn. It would pull real hard, usually to the right, then free up on its own in a few hundred feet. I think it was a brake hose pinching or collapsing internally when extended since it...

I dropped my tire pressure to 45 front / 40 rear when unloaded and it's made a big difference. Tires still pass the 'chalk' test so they're not under-inflated but they're also 37x13.50s so lots of tread on the ground. Look into Carli suspensions. They've got specifically valved shocks for 2.5"...

Cheaper per ounce, just have to spend more up front. http://www.amazon.com/gp/cart/view.html/ref=lh_cart_vc_btn

Used to work at Autozone. Duralast Golds are a decent economical pad. The actual manufacturer changes frequently though as they put out for lowest bids for their specs. Don't expect the life you'd get out of OEM though. Expect probably half or less. I had 110k on my oem pads before I replaced...

I wouldn't put much faith in the weather forecasts down here until about 2 days ahead of time.

I've always been curious if using Elites 59 with the larger turbine along with RCDs 75 with the larger turbine would make a noticeable/worthwhile reduction in BP. I've never seen anyone with this combo. Would spool suffer noticeably on a stock fuel set up?

Elite has two 59mm HPs, one with a stock turbine and one with a larger turbine. RCD has two compressor wheel options, but both stock turbines. All depends on what you think the best set up for your needs would be. Probably won't be a noticeable difference between any of them with a 72 LP.

What's the newest part number and how much?

I've got an 09 King Ranch with the auto/manual hubs. My hubs are all gray/silver. All I've seen for sale are silver and black. Is there a different part number for the solid silver/gray ones?

If there is enough 'wiggle room' to let air in it would be spewing coolant out since the system is under pressure. Pretty sure you have another issue.

I used Zerex ELC. It was the cheapest ELC rated concentrate I could find. Bought it through NAPA but had to get a case (6). They had Shell ELC on the shelf but it was about $2 more per gallon. I've got a little extra now for top offs and plan to use it in my tractor. ELC is getting easier to...

Best part about the hitch, even if you don't tow, is that it greatly minimizes damage if you're ever rear ended or back into something. If you're not concerned about that (insurance!) then it's just extra weight.

Chevy/8psi model?
