Just take it to a station and get the slime out of there and have it patched.

 

good idea but I just moved here and havent seen any "tire shops" like back in Brooklyn. All that I see out here is the "BIG NAME" guys sts, mavis, sears.. I didnt see any nails or punchures to be patched though it will be nice to get the slime out of it!

 

It would be nice to find a half decent set of tires to put on there to try... If I lived remotely close you would be more than welcome to try mine... You need to nut and bolt the front end of your truck and get new bushings for your shocks too.


Dismount your tires, remove the slime... air up. Fill a squirt bottle with some soap ( I use Murphy's oil soap, same as I use to mount tires) and hot water. Spray down tire and look for puncture...

if you can't find it, you might call a retread shop like Inter City tire in Elizabeth and they may be able to run it on their NDT machine to check for a puncture... there they can patch it correctly.

I know it sucks taking your truck places to get worked on...

 

West thanks a lot and trust me if you were close by Id have plenty of ice cold adult beverages for you!!! I would go out and just buy myself a jack, some jack stands and a lug wrench but I dont even think I would have much luck because its all dirt on my property but I do have a crushed stone driveway , both areas I would be pretty scarred to jack the truck up on lol. I do hate bringing it to a shop it feels like I am throwing money away that I could be putting into the truck. I will be ordering the bushings today for the shocks they are only about 3 bucks and Im pretty sure I could do it in my yard, what do you mean my nut and bolt the front end? If you mean go over every nut and bolt I can assure you I have got to every part of it and I was able to drive the truck for the first time last night over 50mph since I tightened the steering up it is a totally different truck now but I still want that damn slime out lol. Your welcome to come by anytime ya like , as a matter of fact anyone with a big good ole ford truck is welcome at my place anytime, (chevys too) I gave mine to my new wife shes driving the silverado now thats lifted 6 inches on 33s and doesnt wobble the slightest bit, I guess I have better luck with chevys but the ford is coming along nice now that I can actually drive the thing.

 

The problem. The more you wait to take it out, the more it wears down other components, that will in turn cause DW themselves.

 

Big green HOLY ***** thats a truck nice! I have not been driving it because I dont want to screw things up now that it is decent. I have an oppurtunity to get my hands on these tires but I will need to get rims what do you think of 39.5x18x15 boggers you would need 15x12 rims

 

you would need 15x12 but perfer 15x14 but you arent gonna fit 15's on your truck. wont clear the calipers

 

Yea I am going to pass on those tires and the guy did mention he had to grind down the back of his caliper to fit the 15's but a lot of guys do it for traction? Well I figured if I am gonna spend money Id rather get what I want and I like those tires that look like street offroad tires I think Nitto makes them?

 

IMO id avoid Nitto Mud Grapplers. They wear fast. And not worth it since you dont offroad often.

I REALLY like the Mickey Thomspon ATZ's they would look great on your truck

 

Im a big fan of the Nitto Terra Grapplers and Nitto Trail Grapplers. Mud Grapplers, not so much; though the bigger sizes arent so bad.
