    So I think the Michelin Defender is the perfect all-terrain tire...

    I had a set of these in a different size on my 2wd 2500 Yukon XL and they were great in the snow and ice. Never once did I wish it was 4wd because the traction was that good with the heavy beast. They Wear really nice as well. Thinking on getting a set for my camper pulling truck.

    Ford 5.4L 3V Triton bulletproofing.

    Soak the plugs with Kroil for a few days if you can. There’s a procedure on line that’s recommended.

    "The Moose" 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X Build Thread and some stories MNCarl

    Great times right there. We were in Colorado last year and all I wanted to do was explore. Unfortunately the Audi A4 Quattro we rented wouldn’t be the best for that. My wife is game for building a rig to do this stuff. My 2500 HD is not the best platform for it though. Maybe I sell my Yukon XL...

    Late Model Ford F350 Can't charge the truck camper battery

    We just bought 4 SDs at work. I’ll have to check them out this weekend when I go back to work. I really like the drivetrain of these trucks but the electrical leaves a lot to be desired. Same goes for the half tons. They are a pain to troubleshoot because of the abuse we put them through. After...
