Ken's Tire in Monroe, NC just offered me a set of discontiued 255/85R16 Mud Terrain tires for $50. Said they cost him $140 apiece. Hope you don't mind me saying this, but Praise God! I'll take'em! Problem solved.

I have Dodge aluminum wheels. I'm not sure of the width. I have Cooper Discoverer 285/75s on and they have lasted 40,000 miles, a good bit more than I've gotten with General Ameri-Tracs or the Wal-Mart Liberators. One main reason for the narrower tire is that in Mexico there are speed...

Sweet! I'll check them out. Probably pricey, though. Thanks.

I need to buy tires. Anyone using 255/85 R16s? Any brand recommendations? I drive off road in Mexico, and at extended high speeds on road (in Mexico). Thanks.

Thanks. No, the EZ didn't come with a boost elbow, so any instructions on that would be appreciated. What does the fuel pressure gage tell you about how the engine is running?

So the boost elbow is like the Banks Ottomind or something similar, if I understand correctly. Thanks for the tips on eBay, etc. With limited $$, doing things a little as I can afford them, should I get the Edge or the Boost elbow first?

Chiapas is way down there. What is a boost elbow? Does that and the gages come with the Edge EZ?

Thanks. Are there any drawbacks in life of the engine, etc. from using this kind of timing box? I'm willing to change the clutch if necessary, but don't want to fry anything.

I've been a member of TDR for 6 months but have hesitated to post anything because I've never done this before. A little background. I'm a missionary and have been working in southern Mexico in the mountainous state of Oaxaca. I live at 5300 ft, drive on curvy mountain roads, and to get...
