I may have to get a 68RFE in my new truck.

My last time pulling the toyhauler with my overloaded 2500, the rears went from 80 to 102 psi. You are a long, long ways from overloaded. Relax and listen to the Hummin' Cummins.

Listen to these guys, they know their stuff.

When we pull any of our tractors(Class 8) in to service when hot they will gain 15-20 psi easy.

OKEEE DOKEEEE BOSS LOL.

This will give this thread another 40 posts. Fill the tires with nitrogen and watch the difference in pressures as the tires warm up.

I see close to 10 psi increase on my fifth wheel ,and truck.

We going to start that nitrogen nonsense too

Failure at low miles. Tread separation, belt failures, ply separation, etc. The Transforces on my '15 wore out so fast I would have been dollars ahead to have sold them as take-offs. Pure garbage, but at least they don't have a reputation for catastrophic failures. The Nexens do.

Exact same issues with Generals that came on my 11 DRW. Tread desperation at 25k on mine.

 

[RVTRKN]

Yup, I lost my Generals early as well, C&C doesn't have room for a spare, so I had to take one of the duals off for the front. I had to run like that for around 150 miles, when I changed them out for Michelin at the nearest American tire store.

Is that why they scatter those tires all over our freeways, now I know

Well now...
Nah that's mostly bad quality recaps. We run some recaps also, mostly on older tractors and trailers. Alot of fun trying to dodge the steel belts sticking out everywhere when changing one on the side of the interstate That'll eat your arms up in a hurry.

Certainly a lot of bad recaps ,gotta be Goodyears I can imagine they gotta be pretty fun to change . i would hate to have to just dodge them when they come apart on the freeway. I do my best to stay away from them semi's , I never hang around one of them on the freeway.

 

[RVTRKN]

I call them gators, and they are dangerous to me when I ride my Harley.

Yeah that's a good idea.

 

[Cummins2014]

I can only imagine, just the fact of running over a couple that couldn't be avoided . To me it seems to be getting worse on the freeways, of course always worse in the summer .

 

[Cummins12V98]

Stewart please tell us your tank flushing procedures! Don't think we have covered that topic yet.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I am on a learning curve for that.

 

[Cummins12V98]

NEVER leave black tank open!!!

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

I for sure no that.

 

[Stuart Carter Brandt]

okay boys we got some figures here it's raining right now in Reidsville North Carolina 88 PSI on the fronts 4748 46 and 46 on the back of the dooleys so even in the rain we're getting 88 PSI out of the the front tires pretty hard in my opinion.

Have you tried Nitrogen?
