Dang, why didn't I think of that? I'll have to remember that. Shoot, I didn't even put lift blocks on it. Had an '88 GMC on heavy duty rear springs with 33" boggers on the rear and 30 x 9.50 Futura A/T's on the front. Had an '85 F250 with 33" terra tires on the front and 36" Military OZ Swampers on the rear. Then to top everything off, had a '92 Mazda dropped 2" in the front and 3" in the rear with 235/75R15 A/T's and was taking it through mud that people in 4X4's were locking their hubs for.
Now THAT'S Git-R-Done!
Y'EA C'MON!

yeah, done that once or twice, but usually dont think about slingin stuff allover the place, usually too many cars around that i would hit, and that isnt alot of fun, but will do it at the drop of a hat, it the situation presents itself!!!!

not a prob, just had a new tranny cooler put on mine, is called a super cooler i think, is rated to 20,000lbs and drops tranny temp by about 30 degrees over the stock radiator cooling system. the tranny cooler is out of a tow truck, so i dont think that i have to worry about burnin it up anytime soon

Thank God there wasn't much traffic at 10:30 p.m. couldn't stop the whole way home. Float the gears and drop the hammer. Cover the road in coal driver!
Sorry, had to get some redneck truckin' out of me.
Oil weights - I run 20/50 in the summer and usually 10/30 in the winter.
Tranny Cooler - I run a tranny cooler on all my automatics. But then again all my automatics are either burried in mud or yankin' someone out of being burried in mud.

I'ma fan of tranny coolers. A must w/auto.
Oil, man you want to start an argu
I thought the 5ws were for cooler weather, something we don't get much of..i guess i'm wrong 'cause my '96 Bronco does recomend it in manual, as most of the time, read the directions last soooo - i've used 10w30syn every 3k - i know waste of $$ but hey it's got 158k. In my '79s i run the 20w50dino yr round.
Man, I almost sounded serious for a moment...............

Old87-
I've always used the tranny coolers that they have up at Pep Boys and never had a problem one out of them. I think they are called hayden coolers or something like that. Just look on the aisle with the flex fans and all that.
