Where are you located? I work in the non-profit sector and may be able to locate some resources. May be a stretch as most focus on rehab, housing, employment, etc. But it is always worth a shot.

And thank you for your service.

I have only had them for two months and so far they are a very good tire, snow is on it's way and I will let you know all to soon on how they are.

These Fierce tires are better than the Goodyear mtr with k but not as good as the Cooper stt.

For your speedo part number flow the link below and just get the part from your dealer.

I get 16mpg on the hwy in the mountains, 99% hwy use, I do not use O/D very much nor do I get up past 60mph mostly 50-55mph. If I start using the "feed me" pedal more all gas mileage is out the window. I will make a call for you about some new 5" lift parts, it is not a complete kit about 75% there, not free but cheap. I will pm you in the next few days.

I don't think the parts are that cheap so jump on that deal. $400-$600 per diff; if you have the install kits.
