What size is on it now?

 

[doghead]

It should have 11.00-20 bias.

It should have 11.00-20 bias.

Yep

 

[andy3]

A big truck tire place should be able to take good care of you.

 

[patracy]

Do not mix match the tire sizes on a sprag truck.

 

[ke5eua]

Stoped by loves, guy looked at me like I was crazy asking for 11x20

Trust me I never mix match tires.

 

[ke5eua]

Alright, called several places and even ntb and nobody carries 11x20.

So, anyone along I-10 heading from Beaumont to El Paso have and 395s on fmtv wheels, 8 that would like to sell?

 

[jasonjc]

Try southern tire mart they are all across TX LA FL. I asked about 9.00-20's last week they had 10 in stock for 180.00 ea. I bet they would have 11.00-20's.

Called the one in Beaumont, nope. He referred me to someone else, nope.

I've been thinking about going 395s so now seems like a good time, lol

GENSCO on Friendly Rd in Houston has 395s and 11.00-20 NDCCs and can help with mounting etc. 713-694-2211

So stopped for the night. Parked the 818 at my buddies in Sam Houston.

Decided to fly to bliss and pick up the het. I'll drive it and pick up my truck on the way back.

I was worried about my tires so decided to go this route instead.

Talked to the guy at bliss to make sure he would let me drive off and no issues.

I will do a full pmcs, don't worry.

More to follow.

 

[doghead]

There are 10 new(look like new) ndt 11.00-20 tires in Slidell La(in our classifieds).

I think I am going to go fmtv tires and wheels and just single it out since I'm going to be driving it more.

There was a guy in Texas that came across a load of tires and I can't find the thread.

good grub

For some good food while in E. P., I recommend ( State Line Bar-B-Q ) . Just around the horn, a little west of downtown.

I've got all day tomorrow. Plane lands at ~0100, check into hotel, sleep for a few hours, get a cab to bliss and pickup truck. Head back to hotel, sleep some more, lol and get on the road later that evening.

I couldn't justify paying for a hotel room and only using it for a couple hours.

 

[ke5eua]

Ok so while I'm waiting for the wrecker let me get your thoughts on this.

Since it is a het and it has the big boy engine do I need to put 4 hawkers in or can I get away with how I did on my 818, 2 group 31's or bigger.

Thanks mod for deleting.

 

[ke5eua]

Oh and jeep, I left the 818 with my buddy in San Antonio and fly to El Paso. I have a long set of cables in the 818, and a booster pack.

Lot of good it does me now, lol

 

[NDT]

736 cubic inches is a big boy? Two 31's should bust it off. Wrecker?? What's the story there?

 

[ke5eua]

Wrecker was a joke. I talked to them before they came out and said I need a 24v system not 12v. Guy to me no problem and sends out a medium duty truck. Tells me they jump off semis all the time with it.

I don't think he realizes when someone says they need 24v it's probably for a reason.

I'm eying napa right now and going to go over and get two gp31's and a set of cables and jump it myself to get out the road and put them in.

Remove the stone cold dead 6tl and replace with 31s. Forget "jumping".
