See ya'll there!!!

There is a meetup out in Barstow April 7th - 11th. A group of guys who host it come up from Irvine and other areas down there. You could probably convey up with them. Here is the link. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/2022-socal-spring-rally.207941/#post-2426205

Yes you would need all 6. Feltz tire has good deals on 395s but they are out of Texas and will need to be shipped.

I dont know anyone that has put 53s on the stock rims, you could try or you could get a set of 395s. They have been put on those rims. You may be able to get away with running one wheel on each side on the mid axle and see if the other 8 hold.

That sucks, what rims are you trying to use? 53s will probably be a royal pain to try and put on stock rims. I'm sure it can be done but most likely not advised. When are you planning on getting the truck?

What's the truck got on it right now?

I prefer the 395s on my 5ton. The truck is already a slug and 53s just made it worse.

FastNova, Thanks again for putting everything together, had a great time!!! It was great meeting seeing everyone out there and meeting some new people. Here are is the pic we took down at the Lakebed. Hope everyone made it back safely with no problems.

Anyone cruising up the I15 today?

I'll be heading out tomorrow early afternoon!! Its suppose to get a little chilly up here in the desert over the weekend. Bring some warm clothes!!!

I'll be there!!!!! See you guys soon!!

The previous post to yours is the owner. He left it behind because he had a wedding that he needed to be at but will be back to get the truck.

Very true. He does have a chase vehicle behind him, so that may help a little.

I told him to take it easy, buy some extra fuel filters and drive at night as much as possible.

Thanks, I'll let him know what you can do. "update to the situation" He changed all 3 filters and was able to get it up to 45mph. Oil pressure is good, electric fuel pump is working, no leaks. He says it begs down a bit in 5th on a mild incline. The truck does have 11r20s on it and this is...

Gotcha, Wes said your out in AZ. The guy with the Duece wants to get it towed back to Michigan. You interested?

What's the heat gun for?

It's not stuck, that was one of the first things I asked

That's what I'm hoping for. Thanks. Hope someone else chimes in if they have any other info.

He is gonna change out the fuel filters first. I did run it out of fuel accidentally a couple days ago. He looked at all the wheels and other then an axle seal leak everything looks fine.
