I've loved my Coopers. They just discontinued there old ATs and released the new "Stronghold" ATs. Supposed to be better in every way...

I run pretty aggressive tires on my Ram 2500, so I'll probably try the STT PROs when my current Yokohama Geolander MTs are done. Those are great tires, but they're made in Japan and are shaping up to have a shorter than expected life considering their price.

I had stt pros on my jeep for a long time and loved them. Did great in everything I tried them on. Specifically remember one trip in the winter that I was the only vehicle that didn't get stuck in the snow and I had just put the new stt pros on beforehand. Only reason I didn't keep them was because I went up in size and they are pricey!

I'll stick with 295/70R17 - any larger would put the truck higher than I want for towing the fifth wheel. At that size, the SSTs are a few bucks more than the Yokos, but not enough to worry about considering they're US-made. It's worth it to me. I may also take a look at the BFG KM3 or Firestone Destination.

I went thru a couple sets of 31x10.50 and 33x12.50 KM3's on a lighter 1989 toyota when they came out and I was in college. Great traction off road, a little whiney at highway speeds, lasted about ~25-30k on each set.

So the thermostat housing on these trucks is kind of a weak point. It’s a stamped steel piece that’s pretty flimsy. Mine started to sweat a bit so I replaced it with a nice stronger billet alum piece and a new Motorcraft thermostat.

Anyway the Napa/Gates pn for the upper coolant hose is 9906. This hose routes around the serpentine belt instead of through it. That way you can change the belt without removing the upper radiator hose—good job Ford 😉
