    i'm thinking maybe someone in the area saw inside, and ran their mouth. not very many people knew where it was, and the friend keeping an eye on it (and storing the mtc there) had all the keys to it, my F350 is in his driveway, and i'd have cleaned out the money market accout and GIVEN it to him...

    Vacation Time???

    12 hrs a day, 7 days a week. i could take a day off, get paid for 8, 14 days before until 14 days after, but all that amounts to is 4 lost hours for the week. there is nothing to do that i can't do on the clock, so why bother?

    stupid question but i dont know the answer

    they are either traction bars (used with a leaf spring suspension) to restrain the axle (rear) from twisting the leaf spring into an "S" shape, from where it snaps back to normal and causes the rear to hop, and things can break. when used in front, or with coil springs, they are considered...

    Is this where I ask about tires?

    if your spare matched the rears, wouldn't be a problem, and would be fine on the front to get home empty or loaded, problem is heat. flat and/or overloaded (as a single) will generate alot more heat. tires can come apart, or catch fire. remember, i'm not an expert, and alot of this is...

    Is this where I ask about tires?

    won't hurt anything in 2wd, 4wd might be a problem if you ran on straight in a road with good or reasonable traction. (forgot to shift to 2wd, etc) there will always be a small difference, weight of engine in a single front vs weight of empty truck on dual rears, air pressure, corners, etc...

    Is this where I ask about tires?

    your other alternative, with spacers, is 305/85R16 buckshot or coyote radials, the buckshots are a lug, the coyote as a more mild pattern. that works out to APPROX 36-10.50r16. they'd fit the stock rim, be crowned a little in the center (not as much as a 12.50) and i ran 2 sets until worn out...
