It's getting hot here, hitting high 100s this week. With that being said, my AC still is "cool" at best, would like cold!
I took the rear AC hood down, and was trying to find out what was causing a massive rattle. From as far as I can tell, this might be to blame.
Some (about 33%) of the blades are broken off, I would assume at the rate this thing spins that cant be good. This needs to be replaced, right?

Yeah replace that thing, the rear blower is not optional.
Very hard to find this rear blower.....
Also checked my current rim tire combo before ordering the tires and I'm glad I did.
It appears I'm running a 31x10.5 tire now, and I had picked out a 12.5 wide tire. So I'm considering these instead http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=All-Terrain+T/A+KO2&partnum=305R5KO2RWL&i1_Qty=4
Thoughts?

Man, every place I have looked says out of stock. It's looking grim.
Honestly I'd go with the KO2s. That will be my next tire, in a 37x12.50.
Is it worth getting new rims so I can get 12.5 wide over my current 10.5 pizza cutters?
What is wrong with your current wheels?

They are old, and tired.
Is it worth the extra 400 bucks to get new rims to use a 12.5 wide tire over a 10.5 rim I currently have on the truck?
Why can't you use your current wheels for the 12.5" wide tires???

Just snagged one of these on Ebay for $20, seller says its squeaky but from the pictures all the blades are there!
Score!
In a word, 'no'. The 10.5 wheels will easily fit a 12.5 tire. Reserve that $400 for suspension and other driveability/performance bits.

I have 35 12.50's on my stock 8" rallys. I think that's about perfect. In fact, when I go to 8 lug, I'm still getting 8 inch wide wheels.
EDIT, oops, I misunderstood. lol.
I'm all in favor of NOT spending money. hahaha

Alright cool, thats gonna lesson the pain of the suspension cost from ORD which is just over 2k.
Thanks David.
Alright, so I can get a 12.5 wide tire and have that fit my 10.5 wide rim? Can you tell I am a total noob when it comes to this stuff?
Cheers!
