PawPaw, my Duratrac's are right at .49 inches of thread depth left after almost exactly 10k miles on them. Goodyear says they started at .5625 inches.


Washed the truck today. First hand wash she's had since last fall. Iron-X'd, Optimum No Rinse Wash&Shine, and then topped with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal. I call this a pre-spring clean up. Also got the .50 cal bullet stubby antenna installed.

I do know on the eb stories most people said it was running great, then heard a pop and the engine was done.

I know something isnt right though, cause of the smoke this morning and when i took off i was rolling baby coal for a few miles .

Im sure if it blows up i will either keep it or just get another truck later (2015 F150). I wouldnt mind owning either engine. I keep thinking Ram in the back of my mind, then think WTF was i thinking
Coy, how's everything going? You holding up okay? I'm hoping you got it figured out and didn't go buy a Ram
