Took off my 33" summers and put on my 31" winters. First time I've ever put a smaller Tire on. I've always gone bigger...

I'm running a 33 10.5 for that exact reason. Width is what kills you come snow season the narrower the better they do, less float more dig.

Anyway I'm trying reinstall stock flares on trimmed fenders and putting my badges back on... Badges simple flares P.I.T.A

because the bearings in the waterpump are worn out, which opens up the weep hole to warn you your pump is going out. id replace it before ur fan belt walks off at 70 mph on the highway.

Mine's not leaking *crossing fingers* but has that annoying squeal... The previous owner really abused and neglected everything. And OleBlue, I hear ya. I'm saving all my coin towards heading off these problems at the pass, and walking to work as well! It helps I get under that hood before every drive until I get ahead of the curve!
