3500 DRW Odd Tire Wear

[CBari]

I have a friend with a 14 3500 drw who owns a tire stop and just yesterday while changing is oil he called me asked me to go look a my 13 3500 drw. What he saw was that his right front tire was cupping on the outside tread and that all other tires were wearing perfect. So when I looked at mine it is exactly the same. We were wondering if anyone else is having this kind of wear. We both mainly use the trucks pull lq horse trailers. Both trucks have about 10k on the clock. They both have the infamous vibration and the general wheels. They have been balanced and re-balanced and the alignment checked. I was about ready to put Michelins on mine for the vibration but if it is going to wear like this I wont.

Your toe in is set at 1/4" that is factory spec. Set it to 1/16" and the wear will not get worse.

So I am still a little confused on the toe in issue when I read the other thread it reads to me like it is the outside of both front tires, but mine is only the right front air pressure on fronts is 75-80

Toe should be set by individual wheel. Sounds like one wheel has too much.

My truck also is wearing the outside of the right front tire. Some of it may be caused by crown in the road but my previous trucks did not show this much wear. Don't think it is tow in as that would affect both tires. May be camber ??????

These are not old single adjustment sleeve trucks. Toe is set on each wheel. One wheel can be perfect while the other is off. Look at a parts diagram.
