Is a p255/60 tire size the same as oem? Check the driver’s door sticker to see the original factory tire size. Tire rubbing is usually caused by oversized tire clearance issues.

35 is the usual max for LT tire force variation. Those tires also have a much stiffer construction compared to P rated tires, translating to less forgiving of road and tire construction imperfections. If they didn’t force match the tires to the wheels like you said then of course the vibration won’t go away. What positions on the vehicle did the 38 and 42 come from?

I’ve seen white oxidation in trans fill tubes quite a bit, usually in ones that never get checked by removal of the stick. With the oring there that creates a positive seal, any vapor or condensation thatforms at the top of the tube inside boils away when the components get hot leaving behind deposits. If it’s that concerning, remove the fill pipe and clean it out. My practice is to keep dipstick o-rings lubed with whatever fluid they’re for. I wouldn’t be too concerned about it otherwise.
You should see some of the motorhome dipsticks. You pull it out and the end is covered in rust crumbles that get pushed into the pan with the dipstick reinserted. I usually sell them a cleaning by way of tube removal and a drain pipe cleaning brush from harbor freight then lubing.
It wasn’t born there so usually there’s a way to remove it.

Nothing lasts forever. That and i remind the vehicle that it’s my bitch. Eventually it stops resisting. I make the time lost up on gravy work.

I think 90% of guys don’t start out the traditional way. It seems to be tough to get onto the field compared to 10 years ago when i started.
