  1. totally spamming the forum today LOL, but if it helps some one searching later...

     

    my PTO seal failed and the only reason we noticed was because of the smell of the oil dripping on the exhaust, not a spot on the garage floor just a drip every now and then... wasn't for the perfect placement of the exhaust under the leak, it would get absorbed by the dust.

     

    OH Yeah, and we are taking it in for the second time for the same problem. makes me wonder if the shaft is out of balance,

     

    Also... the service manager said if it continues he will be ordering a new case as he has had to change more than one before.

  2. I saw some snow tires on clearance and thought "There is no way I am running the stock 22 this winter" So I thought I would see the options for sizes. This is what I came up with using the calculator here;

    265/40/22 OEM

     

    275 55/18, diameter diff: -1.44% , speed will read faster than actual.

    235 65/18, diameter diff: -1.05% , speed will read faster than actual.

    255 60/18, diameter diff: -0.99% , speed will read faster than actual.

    265 60/18, diameter diff: +0.57% , speed will read slower than actual.

     

    255 55/19, diameter diff: -1.00% , speed will read faster than actual.

    275 55/19, diameter diff: +1.86% , speed will read slower than actual.

     

    275 45/20, diameter diff: -1.98% , speed will read faster than actual.

    255 50/20, diameter diff: -1.01% , speed will read faster than actual.

     

    I can't imagine the sport with 18 inch rims but I thought I would see all the options. I would like more side wall for sure because the pot holes are harder to see in the winter. I see allot of snow where I live, probably not a problem for allot of you lucky buggers.

     

    I think a narrower tire is better on snow and ice. I am thinking of going with the 255 50/20.
