    F-250 to F-550

    Well looking more into the tires, the 225’s tires are on this truck. Found that 245’s are also another option for this truck. These are smaller diameter tires than what I am running on my F-250 that has 275/65r20’s, but 265’s (if they will fit) are the same diameter. I‘m thinking if these tires...

    F-250 to F-550

    It will be a daily driver. It has a nice flatbed on it. I do moderate towing. Only heavy towing is a 22,000lbs boat/trailer on 6 hour drive twice a year. Just a personal truck. I know it’s more suspension than I need, just wandering about any other additional expenses besides the tires in upkeep...

    Hey thanks for the info. I really did not want to put top back together knowing it will be coming dark off, but I had to find the reason for the oil getting into the coolant. I got lucky and that was the problem. There is so much to think about as for improving the issues. This is not a...
