    Ugh, I've searched all over, including ebay.

    runflats, good or bad?

    Where can I find them for $50? The only ones I've found are $275 each.

    runflats, good or bad?

    Turns out only 2 tires had the runflats installed. Getting it out took about 20 different setups before it worked. 2 mega large ratchet straps to hold the tire to the M1078. Strap through the runflat attached to my 12000 lb winch on my truck. Was just pulling my truck and wheel chocks down the...

    runflats, good or bad?

    Sounds like overwhelming replies to keep them, so I guess I will. Just wondering how the ride compares to no runflats. I haven't had mine at freeway speed, so I really don't know what the ride is like. These things are so heavy that the centrifical force could smooth things out and maybe also...

    runflats, good or bad?

    I figure I could wash the lube out and dry it before putting the beads in. Maybe I will use them since I have them. They're pretty expensive if you had to buy them.

    runflats, good or bad?

    I'm putting new tires on my M1078. I have taken two wheels apart so far and to my surprise they both have Hutchinson 1 piece runflats in them insted of the beadlock insert that my spare has. Should I use these in the new tires? Anyone know what affect they have on driveability, especially at...

    Catastrophic tire failure?

    I'm sure it will be a lot more here in California 😕

    Catastrophic tire failure?

    Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Not worth the risk.

    Catastrophic tire failure?

    The inside of the tires don't have any cracks and the tires on the other side don't have cracks at all. Now I'm thinking that the sun always hit the one side of the truck but not the other. Or the tires sat deflated on that side. All tires hold air though. It sat for a month here while I was...

    Catastrophic tire failure?

    Is this what will lead to catastrophic tire failure? Tires have 100% tread, but it's obvious that it sat in one place for a long time. The small cracks are in only one area of the tire, where it would be bulging out at the bottom. 2 tires are 2004 and 2 are 2008. I'm guessing they should be...

    I get the steep angle and all, but they come balanced out of the factory or at least I think they do. So I don't understand why they go out of balance, unless they never were?

    Not a lot of miles really. I've only got 1500, but it's something that I will be looking into. Thanks

    That switch must be an A1 thing, definitely don't have that on my A0. What kind of mileage was on your shafts? I lubed mine, but hoping to defer that for awhile if I can.

    Nice write up Gavin! So I assume the starter flange bolts are a common issue? Also, there's a remote start swithch? Where?

    Just Received My M1078 A0

    I think my idle speed is way too high, about 1000. I definitly need to check the linkage, etc, before adjusting the idle speed. Any idea what it should be?

    Thanks, I'll check it out. All help is greatly appreciated! As far as the trans, I got the truck as level as possible and it's showing at the low end which is probably like 10 quarts low on these! Guessing that's the problem, but I'm going away on vacarion for the next 2 1/2 weeks, so it will...
