Need Some Used BFGs?

Howdy Folks,

Just checking to see if anyone around Camp LeJeune is interested in a used set of BFG TA/KOs, size 285/70-17?

I went back to a 10ply load range E tire.

I have 4ea. 28k on them. No punctures, flat spots, pinches, scrapes nothing. They are in good shape.

Just checking here first before I throw them on Craiglist.

Hey Buddy,

I got back last week. Up n runnin almost 100%.
Don't even start on the tranny stuff....startin to worry a little about mine. I'll have the LAST of my add-ons here this week. If Mama gets in this weekend with the truck I'll be at the craft shop this weekend to put them in.

I may be headin to Eglin AFB for a project next week. I'm trying to wiggle out of it.

How ya doing?

Need to enjoy things from time to time.

Tranny: a few times, while stopped and in gear, and strating to go easy, I feel/hear a grumble/hesitation in the drive line somewhere.
Could be a brake draggin, but just doesn't feel right.
It just happens every once in a while.

Hey Buddy

Heres what I learned about dodge trannies(You have to PAY to play) Don't go half way on your tranny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do it right the first time with all the good parts and you will (should) never have to worry about it again.

If you don't have the money to do it right use your credit card or detune your engine til you get the money saved up, because you will loose your tranny before you know it

This is what I think you need to do, but I think everyone will agree with me.

Good luck

That my friend is not a brake issue....it is a clutch issue i believe. My friend said the same thing. A week later he lost his OD clutches. Cris is right....You need to start looking at a minimum of a flex plate, input shaft, valve body and torque converter. You can always do the output shaft later, but those items are a must. I know how heavy you tow and the FP/IS are very very good insurance. You saw what my FP did when it grenaded.....

I agree with both of you.
I have the Smarty JR and the Quad set as pressure only.
Runs smooth now and I baby it on take offs, but I agree with you both. I mainly rely on it for mileage and OTR driving.
Mama's driving it out tomorrow and I took everything out before I left.

I was going to go see the guy in Wilmington that Nick refered me to, but found out yesterday I need to head to Eglin AFB for a project, then come back here hopefully.

Remember MCMOPAR on here does tranny's!!! And he is better than that other guy. Ask nick about the tranny codes he was getting all the time. I hope you are coming back, where else would you be?

Thanks for the remeinder. I forgot about that.
I'm hoping they change their mind and leave me here. If not, I'll be back.
