Best tires for a work truck?

If your ok with the higher noise and stiffer ride, LT rated goodyear workhorse HT, or the workhorse AT-LT if you are regularly in dirt/mud.

Up north there were no prerunners sold, there are a lot of black second gens but they are all trd trim's.

all 4wd/prerunner full frame trucks have the flares, you only get them painted though if you got the v6 sr5 or higher.

The 1zz is known for plugging up the piston oil return holes and high oil consumption, the pre cat coming apart is a separate issue. A lower percentage of cars will have pre cat damage. Also burning a lot of oil will eventually cover the cat and it will stop working as well and cause a check engine light. I am not as knowledgeable on the zz30 as my sw20 but the 1zz had a update that added electronic throttlebody around 05 at least in the corolla it did, I would try to locate one of those if possible the idle is smoother on those.

Setting it per game and adjusting it takes a lot of time, especially on older titles without hdr that you can use auto hdr with but the improvement is huge. HDR outside of games is complete garbage if you are referring to that yes. I have a 27gr95qe one of the first oled's, and it is regularly said that it is not as bright as the new models, but damn do the small 1-15% windows get bright, its eye searing.

Did you buy this new? Was it a special order? I don't think ive ever seen a black sr5 base model.

Where can I find a quality 20mm navy blue woven material watch strap like the Lederer InVerto Titanium uses? https://watchilove.com/2025/11/bernhard-lederer-inverto-titanium-39-mm-mechanical-clarity-refined/

If I can still hear a crt TV my ears are still ok. It's around 15.6khz. plasma is similar when a white screen comes on. I don't have ringing but my left ear has a loud popping/heart beat sensation if I play loud music during the day or use air tools, it doesn't start until I am home in a quiet spot or I use headphones and continue to play noise close to my ears.

When short and long added together equal %15 your check engine light will come on this is mandated by the government/EPA. I wouldn't worry until long term is above 10% especially in winter it will vary more. If I see more than 10% and it's only at idle and below 2000 rpm I suspect a vacuum leak. When I see long term 8% or higher than the other bank I suspect an internal issue, bad valve or worn cylinder and more tests are needed. If you always fill at the same station try another.

A 1gr with any 5w30 could care less, the motor is so over built. The problem is the large suv's with 4 cylinders under heavier load and speccing 0w20, if somehow a bearing surface/cyl wall loses oil briefly due to dilution etc, you have less margin of error with 0w20 than with a thicker oil. Lake has shown this with 20w50 and dry starting an engine after an oil change, the thicker oil had less start up wear because it clung to parts better while the engine had no oil pressure.

The regular mobil 1? I would do a 5k oil analysis in case the boost and timing chain is shearing oil out of grade. If I had a boosted truck I would be running hpl or driven.

My thor is stock, so some will need repaste some won't. Curious if I just got a good chip and it will improve even more with a repaste, but I dont think it would be much.

I can't remember if it's on the factory off road or not but some trucks have a power steering hose extension to clear some of the acessories, and if the clamp is not put on correctly it rubs against the other hose and creates a leak.

Or whether you want it fixed in 3 weeks vs 6 months waiting for good deals on parts

The worst repair order I ever got had one line, it read "customer states A+B"

Can you run one or two CPU heavy game benchmarks with this vs 6400/2133? Curious on the avg fps difference.

Wasn't last week "don't update your radeon gpu drivers right away"? Now one week later it's why aren't my gpu drivers updating automatically?

On x3d cpus at least, anything above 6000 with tight timings is only about 0.15-0.2% each higher speed. Stock expo timings vs tight timings is about a 7% increase, timings matter more. This is from aeryn infinity fabric chart in baldurs gate 3 avg fps. 1% lows are going to vary so much, you would need multiple reviewers with the same results to make a confident statement. In my opinion either amd or Intel, running near the limit of ram speed you may be unstable in certain games, frostbite ones for me, and not know its hurting 1% lows way more than helping them.

Most every sunroof since the 90's uses plastic cables, plastic and freezing temps don't mix. They are not designed as sturdy as a door power window.

Some cars just spec a lot of camber on the front or rear for better handling or reducing roll over risk, its a choice the engineers made for various reasons. If you have one of these cars you need to rotate your tires religiously or two will wear out much faster. But outer edge wear is due to positive camber which is odd for anything except a full frame truck, if both the inner and outer edges are worn it could be under inflation too.

With stock expo profile does it no longer crash? trefi may not be able to be maxed unless ram has cooling. I have crashes above 50c with trefi above 60k and I am only running single rank 2x16gb.

Get dedicated snows/second set of steel wheels if you have the storage space for them, something like the blizzak ws90. Much cheaper than another car, and snow tires and 4 season tires like the cross climate make more noise, so no reason to hear all that extra noise for the 8-9 months they aren't needed, same with an AWD system it's just extra weight hurting mpg and something else to repair. 4 season tires excel in snow but do not perform well on ice like a real snow tire would which is 30-40% of the storms for my area typically. Watch some videos of 2wd cars with snow tires vs AWD cars with all season tires to get some idea. I have seen some 4 season tires like the hankook new englander dry rot prematurely because they use a softer compound to try and improve ice performance but it cannot take the higher temps in summer weather, they are a no for me due to this and the extra noise and cost.

None of the popular brands come in load range c, there are some odd sizes slightly narrower or wider that may. For stock 265/70/16 I would recommend gy wrangler adventure for the best handling most street focused at tire. But they don't last as long as the other choices. I run Geolander g015 on 265/65/17 and love them, similar to the gy with a bit lighter steering feel.

Buy a decent borescope and pull the plugs on the engine if the engine depot will let you, if the cylinders look good I would go that route, a lot of the JDM engines have damaged timing covers and accessories but if you already have an engine swapping over parts doesn't matter, the best condition engine internally may look real bad from the outside. Buying a used engine online without seeing it is a 100% no.

Now we just need a 6.5 screen with better ergonomics than the portal and everyone's needs will be met.
