I've got Michelin P255/70R16, whats the diff between 255/70 and 245/75? is it smaller distance from the tread to the rim and a higher speed rating?

 

Lower profile and a bit wider tire.

 

Specification | Sidewall | Radius | Diameter | Circumference | Revs/Mile
255/70-16 | 7.0in | 15.0in | 30.1in | 94.4in | 671
245/75-16 | 7.2in | 15.2in | 30.5in | 95.7in | 662

going tomm for them.
before i only replaced the rears... now i need new fronts (and rotation etc), BAD weather cracking, and i have a show on sat thats 2 hours hwy drive... so i'm not risking it. Thus tomm, new tires for me... damn it

 

Lower profile? it seems its bigger than mine in everything got a pic?

 

Yeah your right, I got that mixed up......sorry:o Probably a question better suited for the wheel/tire forum.

 

Truck was just in the shop yesterday... installed a 2 way paging alarm (brand and model will not be disclosed)...
After doing some research and finding it was the one most stolen truck year etc and having too much attention brought to the truck locally I decided to get it done. Works great and has many other features and add-ons that i got installed.... including...

POWER LOCKS... lmfao

Truck will also be at Pro-spec tomorrow morning again for another install.

Pics to come...

 

Really looking forward to see what your going to do next.. nice design and truck btw..

 

rims man, rims!

sounds cool. with all the stuff you have, i hope that thing keeps it all safe!

 

i have been following this thread for a little while now, and i have to say, normally i am not into the lowered trucks, but damn, this thing looks money. gorgeous truck IMO. keep the updates coming, i'm hooked to see what's next

 

do you still have the plastic stock valance? I kinda went through a ditch that was deeper than what i thought and my frame decided to go through the valance and into the pavement and dug that up.

 

been mia for a bit... just bought a house and had a baby so $ and mind goes elsewhere...

I have some new things installed thus far and things waiting to be installed in which i have bought over the winter months. The truck is currently parked for winter and will be coming out in the very end of the month or early March.

Pics of what i installed before winter and what i have now will be coming soon.

I also have some plans for this spring as well... unfortunately before i start it I believe i have some *pre-hydrolock issues as im noticing coolant is virtually non existent since its been parked... thus before i drive it - im planning on changing the gaskets out. ****ty - but what can you do... changing it out before the motor goes.

 

you bought the truck before checking to see if they swapped the gaskets? although even if they did, they prolly swapped with the wrong ones. sounds like a good time to clean those uppers! do you have an aluminum or plastic intake manifold?

 

been retarded busy lately... but some big updates...

Engine is running perfect, we've done some tests and the gaskets were infact changed...

I had a good chance to get a set of 20's and even a set of 22's but scrolling down you can see im saying screw it to rims and hello to something else.

BAD:
unfortunately i clipped an old man and my driver fender is now scratched to **** and am currently in the process of sourcing out a new white fender. i was at fault... donno how but whatever not worth the fight, didn't go through insurance....

GOOD:
some good updates and a clue as to what my plans are this year...

Went to my buddies performance shop... and installed my latest goodies.




Troyer Underdrive pulley... noticeable gains... (stock shown)


Ignited Performance Gauges: oil psi, oil temp, air/fuel, and.... boost


guages installed... boost parts on order... gauge is wired and ready



further install pics of gauges etc coming soon... all i had uploaded so far and wanted to post something since i haven't in ages.

 

I didn't read the whole thread, but what form of boost are you going to do? Turbo? Supercharger?

 

more parts came in and installed.. pics to come.
