Message: [QUOTE="Oconco68, post: 1567088, member: 38299"] 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 can fit and taking in the extra weight of the 550, I might not be disappointed to much keeping the 4.30 gears. Will have to see. I am going to see the truck in person in October, it‘s in another state. I think if it is in the condition I am searching for, that I think I’ll do the deal. I think it would be a neat truck to have. All this 6.4 crap got started over a mint condition KR that had low miles garage kept, but none running. The family knew nothing mechanically, the father passed away and the truck broke on the son and it sat in a garage for 2 years broke. They were told it needed a new engine, and was quoted $16,000. The family feud started and I was offered the truck for $500 to get it out of their lives. Brought a trailer, and 2 batteries. It was out of fuel. Now I did not know that. Drove it for a year and decided to keep it. I did decide to put $9,000 into the motor, but I hate automatics, the electronics are old now and just too much BS sometimes with them. Nothing but a reverse light switch on a manual. So now I’m here. [/QUOTE]
