I ran the KO2's on my short lived Ownership of an H2... I thought they balanced very well and were not loud at all... I plan to go that route with the excursion on my next tire change.

BFG KO2's on mine, quiet and smooth but they like to pick up small stones like crazy in the tread.

I've run both of these tires and give a huge thumbs up to the Coopers. They are incredible tires. Great handling, even wear, quiet, good traction. In my experience, though the KO2's handle and wear okay while being quiet, I have never been impressed with the traction when it gets sloppy out.

Those of you that have EGR deletes, what are your plans if you traded the truck in to the dealer?

Re-install a functioning EGR cooler or just look the other way when the dealer takes possession?

I did the blue spring update, installed the upgraded negative/positive battery cables as talked about in the batteries thread, tried to change the tranny fluid and tried to put on a new gator belt.

Tried to do the tranny fluid because I drained it, and discovered that the moron that changed it last put some random bolt in there. Not even magnetic!

Tried to put a gator belt on to fix some squealing under load. Got the old off, and while putting on the new discovered the idler pulley is bad. That was probably the culprit, but a new belt isn't gonna hurt!

Picking up the new pulley and drain plug in the morning and gonna button her up! Crossing my fingers I don't find something else needin replacin...

The trans pan bolt is not magnetic. You will find a big donut magnet in the pan.
