Thanks

Yep lots of early 39s were 36” rims

Ebay it was a couple years ago now so I’m not sure if they are still available

@ Thanks I have a 1974 GMC 6000 grain truck

I’m not lying if google it you will see But I never said that I paid that for it

I didn’t pay that for the tire because it had shipping damage but they retail for $2,261 it’s a 380/80/38 Michelin radial rice tread

Thank you

It’s very expensive and if you know drum brakes you can figure it out Tires can be expensive also. You can easily spend more on brakes and tires than the truck cost

@@DrRust thanks for the reply. I guess I’ll be thinking on wether I really need one or not then.

They are definitely worth it if you get a good one just watch at auctions or market place for one that was used recently or recently passed a dot inspection

Find a local starter and alternator shop they will be able to rebuild it

@@DrRust ok

I can’t pass up on a good deal

From what I found their 4 to 6 horse depending on what the governor spring is set up for RPM

I’ll have to look that up because I don’t know who that is

Honestly I don’t know I don’t think so but it seams to make more power than it should

That’s a good idea I never thought about that on a tractor

It’s a weird truck in just about every way I know a lot of fire trucks got upgraded Crome on base models this was a no radio truck so definitely a base model gm has a service that will send me the build sheet for it. I just haven’t got to it yet

Not one of my smartest moments lol

@@DrRust hey it made Me laugh. I'm going through allot and you gave me a smile lol thank you

@scottcroney1703 I’m glad I could help I hope things get better soon

@@DrRust thank you. I have a model A deere as well (my profile picture) I post about it every now and then but I haven't messed with it thr passed few days

Interesting I would have never thought about that There’s definitely more content coming

Yep I just used it a little today and it’s way different than a farmall

@@DrRust RIGHT! I sure liuke the 2-bangers!

Thanks

X1a is I think low speed gears I would have to look at the list again to verify

Had a waited a few minutes I’d have heard that I’m doing it wrong. 🤣

@@wattsup8407good luck Try lowering the float

Thanks

It had 30 psi oil pressure we didn’t run it that long either

Exactly why I got this I wish they offered a turbo 4.3 like Ford’s V6 eco-boost As it stands right now, my trip counter says 20 MPG for the 238 miles on this tank with lots of in town driving

While everything you said is true there’s a few scenarios that justify a new vehicle. Imagine you’ve spent your entire adult life spending your money wisely and maintaining a quality beater with a heater. (My current position) But as you get older maybe you’ve got a promotion and work more hours and or have a family. Even if old cars last longer they are almost all nearing the age in which you have to devote a lot of time to them because you can’t trust dealers and shops fix anything right. If he can financially manage it and it makes sense for his place in life I’m not going to judge nor condemn him for doing what he can to make his life better, if even for a few years, just because I can’t. It is possible to share automotive wisdom without flipping people off and joining the victimhood.

@@distinguisheddjentleman8081 I guess I should have been more clear. The middle finger was to the MANUFACTURERS not the innocent who gets suckered by their crap. To excuse the planned Is obsolescence Just encourages them to get better at it.... as the price goes up. As for joining the victim hood.... I will leave those feelings for you.They don't affect me because I fix what I get whether it's new or not. Self-reliant.People are only victims of what they don't see coming. Maybe you should grow up a little bit. I never said dont buy a new car. I also think you should do THOROUGH research , so you don't get suckered.

@@distinguisheddjentleman8081 The victims are created by the manufacturers that lie through their teeth and charge too much for crap. If you want people to stop joining that club....maybe you should get the manufacturers to do what they say they're gonna do!

That may be your opinion but I’ve never owned a vehicle newer than 1996 before this and I am tired of working on things and not having a/c also I wasn’t about to pay 20k for a truck that has 75k on it just to have the transmission go out I’ve watched that story play out over and over I have two 1 ton trucks if I need to haul something heavy but this 2.7 has more power than both of them and gets double the mpg of anything I’ve ever owned I really don’t care if it blows up because it’s under warranty

@@DrRust The prices of new vehicles are now for the semi rich. Manufacturers want to make more money on wall st. by making exclusive systems that don't last more than a few years in the real world. Nothing has changed in the automotive industry except what you're paying to drive it and you CANT FIX IT!!! I respect your opinion.....I also respect how much money you're spending on that opinion. But most of us simply can't afford to do that. Enjoy your ride👍

I am in a position where don’t have other bills so I can afford the massive payment But I definitely could fix it if I needed to. But instead of spending $200ish a month on preventive maintenance I have a car payment now and it’s saving me $100+ a month in fuel costs so it offsets the cost a little I’ve driven the last 10 years in cars/trucks older than 96 and I have run out of time for repairs my free time is worth more to me than the payment now I don’t plan on keeping it more than a few years because I don’t trust it

All good points, and I'm glad that you're in the position that you can do that.Most of the country is not

I'm getting 19 miles to the gallon out of a 2011 5.7 l V8 If I keep my foot out of it. It can tow anytime I need it and Ive got over two hundred k on it. So when they say they can't build them that way. Anymore They're full of it. They just want more of our money

Your 6.0 doesn’t get 25 mpg empty I know my mom has one it also it doesn’t make 415 pound feet
