295/75R22.5 seems like would be about the closest metric tire. that is a low profile tire though, and is about 1 inch smaller. 297/75R22.5 is 39.93 diameter, 11.61 width, 125.42 circumference, 8.71 sidewall height, and 505.2 revolutions per mile.

#1: pusher axle MUST BE UP before going any way near sand of loose material. #2: the more power, the more hop. use 2nd gear, NO THROTTLE, and feather the clutch. #3: steering wheel straight!!!

i am sure everyone will be going over that truck with a fine tooth comb, looking for nuts not pointing the proper direction, or on the "wrong side" of the frame. 😁

Barry, is there a way to block IP address? i just banned another pakistani spammer.

me thinks it was part of the spammer issue.

Now that I think I got it figure out, it does seem easier to use. It will just take time. As did the last change a few years ago.

i am just being a grumpy old fart Barry. we will get used to it. i am deleting/banning on average 3-4 pakistani spammers a week.

i don't like it. 🤮 cause i am a grumpy old fart. i cant find anything on the phone. now i am going to have to call my grand daughter over to show me how to use it .........AGAIN! 😁

it is a danger because 90% of these illegals are criminals. and we have a problem with it because they are coming here the criminal way. come legally like most people do, and you will be welcomed with open arms. sneak in illegally and you will be deported back where you belong.

not just this forum. in general it is a problem with all forums. one post wonders come asking questions, get help and never come back to say if it fixed it or not.

try to find a GOOD chiropractor. the tingling/loss of feeling is the signs of a pinched nerve in the neck. a good one can do wonders for you. mine took 3 months to straighten me out. i now only go to see him once a month unless i am hurting.

It is part of "the joys of getting old" Bob. 🤪

my daughter makes me a new one every day. 🤪

are you looking for rebuttal, or confirmation? cause i think you are on the rite track. but i am usually called a conspiracy theorist too.

you are a conspiracy theorist. those electric vehicles recharge the batteries with unicorn farts and fairy dandruff

yup.. when the battery goes dead, toss it in the trash and break out a new one. 😁

i would pressure wash the engine anyway before you do anything to it. you need to pull the valve covers to check the rack and injectors for free movement anyway, so washing should be the first step automatically.

mack technician could not play with others in a civil way, and was part of the dozen or so other users that were given vacations and never returned.

or are now crippled from working 50 + years and no longer can do the work. i have 2 plow trucks outside that are down. the 04F350 starter died, and the 02 F250 needs trans lines. i can probably get down to get the parts out to replace them, but my hips and knees are so bad i can not get back up.

that is one of them newfangled front and rear anti collision damage air bag bodies. 😲

i still have my 78 F250 4X4 i bought in 1980, and the 79 F350 4X4 i bought in 81. the 78 has a 400/C6, the 79 is 351M/C6. my best ever buy was a 57 ford 2 door wagon with 312, 3 speed on the floor, and a factory installed McCullagh supercharger. bought it in 82 for $50 running on 7 cylinders. changed the one bent exhaust pushrod and sold it for $1,200 less than 3 months later after realizing it would only get me dead, or in jail.

I had a bunch of " profesionals" that could not drive a mack 5 speed without grinding 10 pounds of gear off between shifts, even when double clutching. Than get pissed AT ME when I would shift the truck from the passenger seat to get off the road so I could drive back to the yard

Back in 89 I was playing truck forman for a large outfit (32 trucks) Took a guy out for a rest drive in a tandem dump. He did great, and I was going to hire him and put him in a truck as soon as we got back to the yard. A piece of steel fell of a scrap hauler in front of us and there was no way of avoiding it without hitting someone. I caught the passenger rear outside rear 12/24 and popped it like a balloon, with "gator" taking off the mudflap AND tailgate latch. He pulled over, said now I remember why I quit driving, and walked to a phone booth to call his wife to come get him.

that is what you get for messing with gators. gators are best left for the professionals workin the swamps. 😁

my old 10 KW onan is a 3600rpm screamer. you can hear it 5 blocks away when it is running. and it loves gas. 1.5 gallons per hour. the new 15 KW onan is an 1800 rpm 4 cylinder air cooled. that is much quieter, only about 100 foot noisy. that is rated 250CFM natural gas, but i think it only uses around 200 CFM. i also have a little portable 2400 watt yamaha inverter. that thing is quiet. it can be running full power and you can carry on a conversation standing next to it without raising your voice. it will also run 8 hours on 2.5 gallons of gas. when i am done with the gas powered units, i turn the gas off and run the carbs dry. i also mix double dose of marine and regular stabil in the gas tanks. with that mixture gas stays good for around 18 months. i also have an automatic transfer switch wired into the house, so i dont have to do anything. the big unit is self start and shut off, and self test once a month for 5 minutes too
