tire size on dually

From : nathan w collier

Q: 235/85r16. 255/85r16s will just barely touch empty and will get pretty warm when loaded. are there any taller skinny tires that will fit -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .

only in your tiny immature mind. now please explain exactly how the torque increase from the tc is any different than the torque increase from the transmission in its lower gears. now i dont want to hear how it is done differently just how the result is in any way different and try to keep the language on an adult level for a change. red herring alert !!!!! whoopwhoopwhoop !!!!!!!!! where exactly did i say it was different if you do not think that it is different then why did you bring up the torque converter at all sounds like backspin to me. for that matter where was the gear reduction ever mentioned except by you the whole point of this argument has to do with gear reduction gary please follow along. my entire reply was based on the erroneous statement specifically the last 11 words of the following from snoman we are actually in partial agreement here but this is also the reason why much earlier in the thread i stated to regear the truck because though the towed mileage may be short to ramp the stress of the ramp can be high and a tranny can realy heat up fast in a heavy stall and deeper gears do two things the tranny has to product less torque to move the load he said that the tranny produces torque actually he said products but well let that pass since ive already told him he needs to be precise in his wording i said no the transmission does not produce torque but the converter changes high-rpm/low torque output of the engine to lower-rpm/higher-torque output wtf does this even mean gary. like i said multiple times the transmission does this as well in its lower gears so what exactly is your point here nowhere did he or i mention gear ratio he said once more since you have problems comprehending things that the tranny has to produce less torque sorry gary but you really are not very good at spin. dont try to change the subject to some garbage about gear ratios. you did say that the tc converts from a high rpm to a lower rpm and increases torque. a transmission does the same thing just by a different method. maybe he meant to say has to provide less torque which is correct. the tranny god will you folks grow up and call it a transmission fer chrissakes ! cannot produce torque.......it can convert it in the converter or it can change ratios between input and output shafts and thus convert hi-r/lo-t input to low-r/hi-t output but it cannot produce torque only a power source such as the engine can do that where exactly are you trying to spin this you keep talking about the tc but who cares what exactly does the tc have to do with the topic at hand do you actually know where the tc gets its name from perhaps you should go and look it up. now study up there will be a test in the morning which will count as 50% of your total grade lol i would do a little studying yourself there dude. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

nerdrevenge wrote i saw on science channel last week were 2 just out of high school kids converted an old volkswagen diesel van to burn straight used cooking oil after they were told in their auto mechanic class it could not be done. they drove cross country stopping at fast food places to fill up. they only drawback was they has to run regular diesel till the engine warmed up then switched over to cooking oil. they said they got better performance with the cooking oil. theres a local company that will convert your diesel to run on cooking oil. theyre doing quite well. you can buy bio-diesel conversion kits that bring the cost of diesel down to about 70 cents a gallon. add free waste cooking oil vegetable and some common ingredients to purify it and you end up with a higher quality fuel than the petro diesel. apparently the engine smells like french fries when running. smh .

tom lawrence wrote higher aspect ratio than 85%. youre looking for a 235/95 or so... ive never heard of a major manufacturer offering that size. a quick google search turned up one manufacturer kenda usa. ever hear of them me neither... if you go to a *mart and look at their $95 bicycle offerings you might find some of them with kenda tires. i see kenda tires in some of my bicycling catalogs. never realized they made tires for bigger vehicles as well but why not i suppose if you can make little tires you can probably make bigger ones too. smh .

hello my friend run is truck on the high beam for a week or 2 because one of is nigh ligh was dead. but now the high beam dont work anymore... i remove the bulb and check with jumper cable the nigh ligh is dead but not the high beam. did it have a fuse just for high beam can the cable burn by using to much the high beam thank you jonathan lvesque i would think that a 2005 would still have some sort of warranty for a free repair. .

i know the difference but said the wrong name get over it. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving no you need one in both sentence structure and transmission theory it seems. this from the same guy who didnt know the difference between an impeller and a stator .

transurgeon wrote the transmission cannot and does not produce torque please try to be precise in your explanations actuallt they do they produce more torque at a reduced rpm by mulitplication through gear and stall ratio so it is producing a high torque output at a lower rpm than is possoible without. actually they do not must you always be an asshole while it does not produce torque it does deliver it to the rest of the drive train. changing the gear ratio like he said will reduce the amount of torque the transmission will have to deliver so what he said is still valid. what is not valid is the ridicules gearing he recommends for what amounts to not that much work and the way it will kill the trucks mileage for little benefit. the converter think about the name takes higher rpm lower torque input and converts it to lower rpm higher torque output which is e x a c t l y what the transmission does just by a different method. btw i hope that you do realize that as the turbine reaches the stator speed the torque multiplication is gone sort of like the final gear ration of 1 to 1 in non-overdrive transmissions. both the torque converter and transmission are nothing more than torque transmission and modification devices. jesus mary joseph all 12 apostles and pontius f*cking pilate you are a dense asshole first off the realtionship your are referring to is berween turbine and impeller not stator and by the way braniac the turbine can only reach about 94% of impeller speed the transmisison cannot produce any torque but the torque converter does make the above conversion; hence the name torque converter lol what an idiot. please explain exactly how the tc makes torque. the fact is gary that the only thing that makes torque is the engine so now you are as wrong as you claim snoman to be lol! you need a lesson in reading comprehension bonehead the torque converter makes the above conversion refres to the statement in the preceeding paragraph namely the converter think about the name takes higher rpm lower torque input and converts it to lower rpm higher torque output god damn it you are one stupid fuck do you realize how easy it is to disembowel your ass over and over again .

if you intend for this truck to tow heavy loads why would you want to make the tires any bigger than they already are -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving 235/85r16. 255/85r16s will just barely touch empty and will get pretty warm when loaded. are there any taller skinny tires that will fit -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .

what about something like this http//intercotire.com/site32.php id never run a bias-ply tire on the highway. if you want a set of tires for off-road only then yeah the 9x34s would work. argh.....i never noticed they were bias. - ive heard of 33x9.50s any chance of finding them in 16 with proper load rating -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .

well that would explain the need and desire for more aggressive rubber but does little to explain why you want them taller especially when you have multiple vehicles to work with. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving if you intend for this truck to tow heavy loads why would you want to make the tires any bigger than they already are while towing heavy loads is the primary duty off road prowess is equally important. this is why most 1 tons up here are single rear wheel running aggressive off road tires. during a montana winter the interstates can seem like off road wilderness. if a dually on stock tires with 3.54 gears is enough to tow everyone i talk to insists that it is then i would think that a dually on 4.10s with 33s or even 35s would be equally capable. -- nathan w. collier http//7slotgrille.com http//utilityoffroad.com .

been to dealer twice now. they replace plugs first time and wires cap rotor second time. it is still missfireing and stalling. only cyl 6 & 8 are missfiring. any others had this or any ideas as to why just 6 & 8 thanks greg .
