Threw my truck a bone!

[$BANKS$rupted]

well with 110,000 miles i thought i'd do some pampering to the rig. I installed 4 rancho 9000's, new front brakes (including rotors, bearings), a new set of michilens (my third set of tires, 70,000 on factory michilens, 40,000 on @#$! bridgestones) Transmission service,oil change (my 19th),fuel filter (my 8th),back brakes were re-done a few weeks ago because rear seals were leaking (new brakes,wheel cylinders,inner and outer bearings, seals)oh yeah i also ordered a new set of factory floor mats. I always do my own matienance, working on it is half the fun of ownig it!

That truck is likely to start wig'ln and wagging it's tail with all the pampering you're giving it. Don't let my truck know what you are doing! It will for sure get jealous and start acting up!

You really got 70K+ out of your stock Michelins? That's great! Can you tell me exactly which Michelin's you had on there stock? I don't know which Michelins were stock then.

Thanks for the bone story #ad

1999 must have been a good year(not goodyear!) for michelins... I got the factory michelins on my 3500, with over 30,000 miles they are still looking great. I check my tire wear often due to hauling my camper and different trailers. These have been absolutely great! May go with a bit more agressive tread design next time though.
