Nah they look like 24.5s to me; it's the steer tire that looks big to me, but I suspect they're just 315s.

Get a set of rebuilt pumpkins and call it a day.

No but even still, can't be having injector cups failing when our boys are being shot at...

Recent problem? How long have you had the truck? Give us some history so we know if this is a new to you problem truck. Miles? Are your axle stops ALL in place? All 4 of them? Are the bolts being overtorqued on install? If so that stretches the bolt, which makes it thinner, thus weaker. How long are you getting out of the bolt before it breaks?

I think that 5 gallon tank helps the truck look taller on the front. Hard to believe that tank could be hydraulic oil, it's pretty small. And it must suck if it's a fuel tank you gotta stop at every station to fill up. And it can't be DEF, who in their right mind would put an emissions system on a truck that predates that junk? Apart from that tank that is a sharp looking RD. I'd love to have a truck that shiny, but I do concrete. Lots of cement dust, and muriatic acid is about the only decent cleaner for it.

Those would be the blocks I referred to.

Lol the flying brick.

I'd like to put a mechanical e7 in a granite; I don't care much for computers, but granites are nice. 😎

Blocks between the leaf springs and axle? Gonna mess up your steering geometry though... But who cares about that when you look cool?...

Oil doesn't cause corrosion, it prevents it. So even if it does occur it won't cause the same damage the coolant will.

Should have been a recall item.

I'll bet the ground is nice and toasty after that one. I'm all in favor of space travel; some wackos think we're overpopulating Earth and need to curb our growth, I say when Earth's full were just gonna figure out how to live elsewhere!

Don't think non ethanol is available near me unless you go to the local small airports and tell them you have a small plane engine that you've rebuilt and need to test. Or so I've been told.

We have a poulan we bought 5? Years ago? POS. Carb settings real finicky, fuel lines swell up with local gas, not sure we've gotten 15 minutes of cutting out of the thing in it's life. Replaced it with a Husqvarna, which works pretty good but you gotta grab the throttle pretty much when you pull it to get it to start. And the auto bar oiler seems to have stopped working. Need to check it out.

Ouch. Must be a bitter employer after that. -
2005 Granite CV713 air leak on firewall

I've got a red can o Prius repellent just like that! -
You reset the trip meter and it caused the odometer to stop working? I'd try resetting the trip meter again, something could be sticking inside. Only other solution is to replace the speedometer and note the old odometer mileage somewhere like the door.

Everthing works but no tail lights

Or change your break light fixtures. LEDs? They go bad. -

Do they come back on when breaker resets? -
If it fixes your problem is it worth the price?

It's all in the gearing. That's not a 70mph highway rig. -
But I don't want to be added to a spam list ....

Contemplating emailing him for an answer....

I hear you on interior room, but 98% of non OTR trucking never has a passenger to warrant more space. In the 11 years I've been driving I've had a passenger less than 10 times, with the exception of when I was on my permit. Granite was designed more or less for the construction market, which is all about tonnage, and last thing a company wants is an extra 200 lbs of waste cargo taking away from payload. That being said, I test drove a 2004 granite last winter and it was a really sweet cab. Great replacement for the R model. -
I think it's the clearance light on the top right of the cab.
