    Old tires have a lot of rolling resistance. My O.T. truck use to sit along side the house when not in use. With new tires, all I had to do was put it in neutral, take the parking brake off and it would roll into the street. As the tires got older, it would roll slower and slower, until it won't roll at all. It takes a few years, but even new tires, when not used, will develop rolling resistance over time.

    Hahaha, I can't wait to tell a friend of mine you said that! He and I have had a little Ferrari vs. Lamborghini battle going on since the 6th grade.




    I'm sold on it being the tires. They're the oldest and ****piest part on the truck, not counting the body of course... The combination of toe in, under pressured, and probably out of shape have got to be it. Thanks for the input, and yeah, you guys must be bored!
