    Bigger engine for towing

    Maybe think about gear ratio changes. I'm running Toyo Open Country 37X13.5X17, 5:13 Yukons and 454 engine. My 1997 K2500 Suburban was ordered with 3:42s, as I remember, but the engine needed some help pulling my travel trailer, especially with hills and the taller tires. Gear ratio change was a...

    OBS Suburban with 6" RCD lift 35" or 37" tires- BFG AT, BFG MT, Toyo MT

    Reading other posts on this thread, seems to indicate there might be a pattern developing with the BFG ATs. I don't have any response to 145k miles with any tire on any vehicle. Except, However, I have a 2010 Honda Ridgeline at 28k and it is at half mileage with premium Michelin tires. My 2011...

    OBS Suburban with 6" RCD lift 35" or 37" tires- BFG AT, BFG MT, Toyo MT

    Sorry to take so long to reply. I use the Burb primarily as a tow truck towing either towing a 34 ft 7500+ lb travel trailer, a 20 foot 3 axle flatbed trailer, or a shorter trailer for atvs and/or mountain bike. The BFG ATs and current wheels are still on the Burb for perhaps another month. Just...

    steering squeek

    Sorry to take so long getting back to you. Amazon.com is where I usually purchase my components. My lift is a Superlift kit. From the Superlift website, I found all the details of the components I needed and then searched Amazon for the parts, as many manufacturers don't sell through their...

    steering squeek

    Mine started squeaking recently too. I used too hear it once in a while. Now more often. On close examination, I found most of the rubber in all the suspension and steering is worn out or close to it. I found replacement components through Amazon. I'll start changing out the old ones and...

    Weird power steering issue.

    I'm curious if a person replaces the Hydroboost without purging the fluids might cause any problems. Also, I wonder if there are any issues that might arise with the use of ATF instead of power steering fluid. My pump is the original equipment and makes a slight noise, almost a slight sucking...

    OBS Suburban with 6" RCD lift 35" or 37" tires- BFG AT, BFG MT, Toyo MT

    I use my burb for offroad, on road, highway and wherever a trail wide enough leads. I rotate the BFG ATs with my oil changes, at 3,000 miles. They are splendid tires without a doubt (37x1250x17) and all I can offer is, 1: that they are D range and the TOYO is 37x1350x17 and E range. 2 my mileage...

    OBS Suburban with 6" RCD lift 35" or 37" tires- BFG AT, BFG MT, Toyo MT

    Toyo Tires I have run through two sets of BFG 37x12:50x17, All Terrains, and thus far have been disappointed with their overall performance. The BFGs are as everyone knows, are load range D. The Toyo 37x13:50x17 are E range, a handy bonus for my truck, a 1997 K2500, 10in superlift, 454 Vortec...
