    Head Gasket leak

    Well, service engine soon light came on about a week ago. Hooked up my tuner and got codes P0171&P0174 (lean). Took it to Ford to have checked out and mechanic came out and said bad news, head gasket leak bout $1,200 to fix. Is this a likely cause for those codes? I'd hate to think that they...

    Lightning vs Diesel truck

    I never get any action so this was a pleasant shocker. On my way home from work last night after dark and I catch a red light. Turns green and I start to go at my usual slow pace when I see lights coming up on me pretty quick in the left lane. The guy was already going quite a bit faster than me...

    Lexus SC430

    Well I have had the L for about four years now and finally got my second kill today. I merged along side a sc430 he looked over and gave me a look. We slowed down to 20mph and both hit it. He hung better than I thought I had him by a car and a half when I let out at 80. He was a older guy with...

    Looking for some input on new wheel setup

    Well I recently bent one of my 20" rims. Well they dont make them anymore so I have myself wondering what to do. I ground down the belltech spindles today and got my stockers back on and the truck def feels lighter and rides smoother due to the 45 sidewall opposed to the 40. I love the way 20's...

    I hate my luck

    Well I was driving last night and hit what must have been the biggest pothole in myrtle beach and completely bent my one rim to crap. I have aftermarket 20's on the truck and have had them for about 3 years. Well I figured no big deal I'll just have to blow a couple hundred on a new one. But as...

The only way I have found to go wider in the tire department is to either go up from a 40 side wall or down to a 35. Im thinkin 45 with a 20inch rim might be just a little too big. But then again I...
