They are ok. Seem to wear quickly. I like BFG better.

It was a combination of things. I never should have lifted the truck, but I was young and stupid at the time. After I had the lift installed, it started death wobbling after hitting a bump. Only thing that would bring it out was to slow down or stop. Everything was tight so the shop was...

I bought skyjacker again.

That's what I intend to do.

Appreciate it. I've got new ones all the way around on order. Hopefully this clears it up. It's a five inch skyjacker. I've had the truck lifted since 2005. Never had an issue other than death wobble that I fixed myself years ago. I dont drive hard. Never had an issue with tire wear till now.

I just noticed rear tire wear on my 2004 Dodge 2500 4x4 5.9 cummins. Tires are expensive, so I try to keep an eye out for feathering and cupping on the front tires especially. I noticed this on the REAR tires the other day. You can see the feathering on the driver side mostly, but they are...

Just had an oil filter socket that gripped better and a standard 3/8" ratchet.

Welp. Did a thing today. I guess I either drill the bracket out and sandwich it between two pieces of bar stock, buy a universal side mount and build a bracket to mount on the exhaust riser, or pay 325 bucks for a new OEM part.

Not difficult at all. Problem is that I'm in an RV park and don't have access to a vise currently. Plus, leaving it mounted to the exhaust riser on the engine gives me a better chance (hopefully) that I don't crack or split the housing. It's an expensive replacement at 350 dollars.

You said it better than me. But yes, that's exactly right.

I tried loosening with my hands first. Standing over the filter looking down, the direction to remove the filter is turning the ratchet clockwise. To eliminate all confusion, I always make sure the selector on the ratchet is in the correct position and verify by trying to turn the socket by...

Thank you. I'll try that.

Thank you gentlemen. I'm going to pick up a Lisle band style and hope that works without crushing the filter. If it does, I can remove the filter remote, cut the can and use a Talon filter wrench. After watching the video someone posted, I think I need therapy. 😆 The socket style I used from...

I have a Fram PH5 that is stuck on my remote filter bracket. Bought the socket type that you put on a ratchet from Ohreally?'s yesterday. I managed to break that with a 3/8 ratchet and jack my forearm up. That filter is really on there. I'm afraid to use the band type because it might just end...

Thank you for your input. I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on this and use a lab that will do the proper test for fuel dilution.
