My new farm truck

[farmall 55a case]

Dose your fuel gauge bounce around? When I put the other gauge cluster in there that's what it done it was showing a half tank and vibrating like crazy so I took it back out figured it was just a matter of time before it broke it too! With the original one it spins all the way around and points at the oil psi gauge!

It used to bounce around a lot but I could sort of tell when it was getting low by the pattern it was following. Then the fuel line was replaced when it ruptured and now the fuel gauge is pegged all.the way to the right and doesn't move at all.

Didn't get anything done on the truck today but I did start pricing sum tires for it on average ever place wants almost 200 a tire! Now I'm not a big fan of wall mart but they had sum good year authority tires that are e rated for about 150 what are your guys thoughts on there tires? Would you get them from there or not? Thanks and hope you all are having a good day!

Watch out if they're made in China. They're junk if they are.

Take your gas sender wire and touch it to ground, if the gauge pegs to full its the sender thats bad.

I will be a little more helpful than Duke with his China comment. He rambles on about nothing like someone else I know.

The tires are not the best in the mud. That is a important feature on a farm truck, especially a Dually which are know for being bad in the muck.

Do yourself a favor and get some quality tires no matter what brand that are rated good in the mud.

By the way, $200 is cheap now days. Thank Obama for that with a tire tarrif. I just put 4 tires on my Nissan Titan, Goodyear Dura Trac's, and it was $1200. The tires alone were $268 each before tax.

My F-350 was over $300 each per tire last year and I just put tires on my BMW about 2 weeks ago and they were $700.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind here is the tire I'm talking about to give you an idea of what kind of tread I want to put on it!

One other thing, make sure you get the right load range. You need E for a dually.

Well got the numbers off the truck, the tar off of it and cleaned off the bed. Waxed it also! I got the power steering pump replaced too! But it now leaking out of the steering box! Can you replace the seal or is it better to just replace the whole thing? I'll try to get you guys some pictures tomorrow! It sure is getting dark fast!
