Thinking about some treadwright BFG A/T retreads. What are some other all terrain tires that are E rated and affordable?


It needs a new throttle body and fluids changed in it. 03 6.0 auto 168K miles has a GN hitch. Everything works and is tight. Interior looks real nice. Not a lot of wear and tear on the floor from getting in and out makes me think mainly highway miles. Hope this thing lasts awhile just gonna use it as a loaner to a worker of mine and for deliveries.








Think I got a good deal on it.

 

That red thing in the background wouldn't be a late 40's Ford or Merc sedan would it?

 

Don't know, I'll ask tomorrow. Maybe I should pull the 6.0/4l80E out of the chevy and put it in the red car?

 

And then find a nice 12v for the Chevy . . .

Texas car prices are ridiculous. That is a 5k to 6k truck here in Ohio.

On tires, we have had good luck the Coopers on a heavy Durango lasting quite a while, and the BFG Radial long trails I have on my 94 are very sticky, but not lasting near as long.

 

Thinking about running it for 6-12 months then selling it for a profit.

 

Nice grab!!

My 01 had the 6.0, great motor, got the 5.9 beat by 4 cubic inches!!

Whatever you decide to do you are ahead of it..

 

Looks like a red Chevy P/U to me?

2nd pic has better details to see it.

 

That looks like a chevy to me, am I in the wrong forum again.

 

Yeah that is like a chevy 99-02 2500 4x4 with bald mud tires. Looks like it has seen its share of fun logging trails and pipe lines.

 

Yeah, go back to powerstrokenation.com

 

I've had real good luck with Firestone transforce a/t, real functional and wear better then I expected. I think I've got almost 30k on the ones on my truck (265/75-16) and still at least half tread left. I run a decent amount of miles with some weight in the bed (trailer or loaded bed/plowing etc) and there's still no cupping or any other uneven wear.

They ran me around $600 for all 4 mounted, had to haggle a bit though.

 

Thats a good deal, where at?

 

It is a 51 Ford. It is really nice too.

 

I ordered some retreads for it this morning. BFG A/T whitewalls.
$435

 

Figured I'd update this. So far so good on the Retreads. I have about 5,000 miles on them.

See if these pics will show up here from another site I uploaded them to.







I put new speakers, ipod connector, tint, factory chrome wheels, rear pipe bumper (offbrand), a new throttle body, water pump, new delphi fuelpump (really woke it up besides just getting it to crank easily), changed all the fluids, filters and plugs, and cleaned the MAF. I realized the brakes are practically new from the old owner and they turned all the rotors so bonus for me.


I think I have $5500 in it. Going to finish up another project at work and sell this truck to one of the workers and look for an 2011-2012 F150.

My Dodge is all clean and it is now my "nice" car. Keep the doors shut for a few days and open it up and the new car smell has came back strangly!
