Here's some pictures of my old 215 and my new 235/85 16" Revo's I put on my truck. I still have to wash them but it's been a little chilly today.
There's still space between the rear's. I'll see after I get some weight in the back if there will be a problem, but for now it look's good

Nothing to do with the tires (they look good too). I looked at some of your pictures in the msn site and saw your pto control switch and the bank of 3 switches above it. Is that factory or did you add that - thats pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. I have an 02 Crew with an empty hole in that spot.

The PTO control is the factory one that they use on the Cab and Chassis model's
It just snap's right in place of the blank plastic piece that's there now.
The wiring for the PTO control is right there behind the blank panel too just plug it right in :). On Edit: You still need to tap into the ECM to make the high idle work. The high idle works good with the switch, only 2 speeds for my 03 1200 rpm and 1700 rpm.
The 3 switches I got at my local Auto zone and just drilled the plastic blank that's there now and wired it to some relay's under the hood. Only one is doing anything right now, it's for my extra reverse light's. The other two are for future use. ;)

Perfect! Thanks for the Info. I'm going to do a little X-mas shopping for myself! ;) Did you pull the dash to run the wires from the switches through the firewall?

Are Revo's better than Michelin's?

EMSi,
I pulled off the trim panel that goes around the dash (guages,radio, and heater controls) and then you will have access to the plastic blank plates and then just fish the wires up to the switches from under the dash. Don't forget to put the shifter down in first and put the tilt steering down to pull the trim panel off. I ran the wires out through the hole I drilled in the firewall where the factory plow prep hole would be.
Also I don't remember now if I had to tap into the ECM for the high idle control or not.:confused: Edit: I looked and you DO need to tap into the ECM and run a wire from there to the fuse panel under the hood. BUT the link I had at the dieselpage is no longer good, so I'm not sure where I hooked that wire too. I'll have to investigate some more.


1sick57,
Both Michelins and revo's are good tires a lot of people here have them and like them, and I haven't really heard anything bad about either one. Just a personal preference.
