I have some experience running M/T's. I ran a set of Pro Comp X-terrain on my lifted 02 Sierra, great all around tire, stuck to the road on the rain and did pretty good off road. But they were on road 95% of the time. Another very good M/T is the Toyo O/C M/T. Great traction, not too loud...

Thanks for the replies. I'm actually running Bridgestone Dueler A/T (NON Revo) and like then but new tire prices are crazy....

Can anyone recommend a no name or lesser known A/T tire made by one of the big tire companies? I've been looking for new tires and see a lot of no names that have a very similar tread pattern as the big names. Not afraid to spend the $$$ for the big names, but why if I can find a no name with...

I can find and use either PP or PU at my local So. Ca walmarts. It might be a regional thing???? I wish they sold either at Costco.. Only M1 at mine.

Same has Harry. I used this combo on both my 08 Sierra and now my 2012 Silverado. No knocks, no oil consumption issues, nothing. In fact I'm getting ready to change my oil this weekend.

Keep a log and you'll be fine. Plus, newer cars/trucks I'm sure keep track of when you reset your OLM (oil life monitor). And as for how the dealers can offer $39 oil changes or similar quick oil change places is by buying stuff (oil & filters) wholesale. They pay .50 a quart and $1.50 per...

My only problem with the 5 quart jugs is no ventilation. There's always that one big GULP in the beginning that makes it out of the funnel.

I remember when I paid $4.01 per quart for Pennzoil Platinum. That was mid 2009. I'm going to try try Ultra this weekend for the [censored] of it as I need to change my oil. Can't wait.

While washing my "around town " Kia I noticed that the paint is cracked and starting to flake or chip off. It's on the hood right next to the windshield washer fluid spout. It's not under the bumper to bumper warranty any more. What can I use to slow down or stop it from getting worst?

It's hit and miss at my local Wally World. But I have what I need so I'm fine.

My 08 Sierra does the same thing (since new). I though it was just me, and it feels like the car behind you gave you a tap. My truck has just under 8k on her now. I'll take her in for a check up when I can. It doesn't happen all the time, every now and then. And I can live with it as long as it...

Change my oil on Superbowl Sunday. This time I was able to remove my oil filter with just my hand. After you get this sucker off it should be just as easy. Make sure not to crack the oil filter, that's the point of no return. You have to get it off then. Any update?

This brings chills to my spine. I had the exact thing happen to me on my first oil change on my truck. I don’t have channel locks but I did have a pretty big set of pliers. I ended up cracking the filter and oil was dripping. I bought two types of filter wrench and all they did was spin. I was...

Thanks for the replies and helping out a noob.
