7500mile and first rotation update I was going to aim for a 5k rotation, but real life happened and I had to take the truck on a road trip. Tires are still performing great, and I am really happy with the snow performance of these tires in the Mountains. I have about ~500lbs of ballast (gravel...

What are those "obvious reasons"? They don't actually fail any more often than virgin tires. Per Treadwright, they only use casings from major manufactures for their remolding. They claim to toss a lot of casings that are not up to snuff. Chances are they do allow casings that a person on these...

Only thing I like about him is that he really does encourage people to get a project vehicle, any project vehicle, and actually do something instead of just watching youtube all day.

This sounds like the BS that engine re-builder on Deboss Garage was spewing.

30k Miles inspect CVTF and 48k Replace IF used for towing. I don't tow, but we have completely filled the car up with chicken scratch/feed more than once before...sooooo between that and the mountains, I think a 30k OCI is a good idea. I really can't get over that the CVT has a filter, but it is...

My wife and I really rack up the miles on our vehicles. She hasn't had her new 2020 Impreza a full year and we ticked over 20k miles last week. Will probably be 25-20k miles by the time we hit the 1 year mark. Her driving is mountain back roads through Appalachia from the north of our county, to...

2600 miles. Still going good. Had their first real winter-y conditions (light slushy snow), and preformed great. Didn't spin any tire backing out of my driveway and then turning to go up my road's slope (I live on the side of a mountain, the main road varies between 10-30% slope on my clinometer...

I mean I am a 😈 . I don't even try to hide it. I just embraced it. I like being true to myself. A man of culture. The best olive oil I've ever had was of Greek Origin though. I had it, dipping stale homemade sourdough bread, and it may have been one of the happiest meals of my life. *woosh*...

Yes. Inb4 "well just print out a similar label and slap it on a vegetable oil can" I KNOW that is coming someone since 1/3 of this forum is a whole lot of penny pinchers who hate the idea of fun.

Ok so the Teal Deer is: I found some Japanese Engine oil brand online, I really like the packaging, I'm trying to find a way to import it, and if I can import it then I will do a VOA and UOA on it. Also requesting help on finding a way to import it.

Ok so the endless "thick vs thin" debates, "Amsoil love/hate" threads, "Royal Purple sucks now" comments, and the ilk, do kind of get old after a while. I figure I will spice things up. Ichiro Seiryu 0w20 - Is an API SP / ILSAC GF-6 oil from Japan. It is probably a quality lubricant, that isn't...

Valvoline FS HM 0w20, WITH 1 bottle of Ceratec, AND 1 Bottle of LM Truck series

Thank you for sharing your experience. Out of curiostiy, what was the stock tire size for that truck, and what PSI did you inflate them to?

I actually have Pulstar plugs in my truck right now, gapped to 0.065, with SOS coils on top of them. Any performance gain? No idea. No issues caused either though. Was probably a waste of money, but I also didn't pay full price.

~1200 miles today. Still good. Oh I love it! Except when I don't. Sometimes US Forest Circus...

~550 mile report No issues, no unusual vibrations. Honestly less noise than the KO2 tires my Forest (I'm a forester for the USFS) puts on the FS vehicles.

So far I have been impressed with the 3.7l Powertech. People called it a "weak" sludge-monster, but it was significantly more powerful than the 3.9l it replaced (30-40hp), and the sludge issues only presented themselves when trying to use conventional oils on long OCIs. The power band is at...

I've used it before, but for the specified 10 mins when I hit 200,000 miles. Not sure if it did anything, but it made me feel good, so I did get that benefit.

Did ~200miles today. No unusual vibrations on the highway. Had her up to 75mph on the highway. Weirdest thing for me was driving on tires that weren't borderline bald. Was refreshing. They apear to be balanced. The weights DO seem like a lot on that one back tire, but the rule of thumb I...

In recent years I'm becoming more eco-conscious. I was interested in the idea of remolded tires as the process is a bit more extensive than just retreading, and overall I could get tires that have an overall smaller carbon footprint. Held off for a long time due to mixed reviews, and it frankly...
