Gotcha, when I was in HS I worked at Discount Tire and they charged 20.00 a tire to do it with a machine like that.
10-4.. ive grooved a couple other sets too.. thats the main reason i got the hand held.. touch up tires that have a solid bar connecting the tread blocks when there is still a third of the tread left. these duratracs are horrible like that. a good 1/4 inch of tread left the the blocks are tied together not allowing any flex or much traction at all.. you can see here in the before and after shots.

Drove it for the first time in 3 weeks to wash it. Talk about its a big difference going from my company truck a 2015 f150 4x4 to my 12 f250 4x4. I just haven't driven a half ton ever in my life till now lol.

Finally got around to putting on the parts I've had for 6+ months... glow plugs, RiffRaff CAC boots and intake plenum inserts, and foil ******.

Got it back from the dealer after having a new fuel rail installed. Drove it home and used 3/4 of a bottle of Simple Green and the power washer to get the diesel off the paint and frame. Going to hit it again tomorrow but glad to be back in the truck.

Let my dad borrow my rclb 6.4 , pulling out of the driveway he managed to back into my ccsb 6.7..... Needless to say I'm none too thrilled.. Got the front bumper of the 6.7 and pretty well ****ed the lower part of the bed on the 6.4 above the exhaust ..

Sucks. But, he is your Dad. Can't really be pissed at him, lol. Crappy things happen.
