enjoyin' the Duramax... learning from the pros

06 is just haulin' .... beats the heck out of the Ram even with the Banks stinger, Ram air, Banks brake and Monster Exhaust. Made the move to get more seating and comfort with the growing family. Been driving/towing stock and lovin' it but now want to modify. Thinking wheels and tires 1st but don't want to lift or affect towing too much. Just want to get rid of the pizza cutters like a couple of you have mentioned. Looking forward to following up with ya'll.

Good advice Landscapeman the 265's seem not to hurt too bad.I have the 285's in a mud tire/MT.They did sting my mpg by about 1.5 on avg.Now that it's summer here I prob will get a set of all terrain 265's when I don't have to troll around a muddy construction site in summer.Now in winter the M/t's are a must,cause the equip can make it anywhere on tracks,but the knobs on the 285's will allow me to be at or above idling ingear and slowly muddin through,bringin fuel to a dozer or a operator to his machine fer the day..But yes this is real good advice,especially with fuel prices..
