Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

They are expensive but they are made in America . Goodyear Endurance tires have them on my flat car trailer

Trailer tires fail from under inflation overload or road hazard. Pick up a nail and you really don’t feel anything till the tire fails . Even the best tires will fail in that scenario.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Yep, a slow leak from an undetected puncture will kill a tire from heat. Best preventative is to USE a pressure gauge and manually check them every time you stop for gas. Next best is just putting the palm of your hand on each tire will give you a heads up if one is running hotter than the rest. If they all feel too hot, and have a faint odor of hot rubber.....find a gauge and check pressures.
And only read the sidewall of the tire to know what it requires for pressure. Many C and D range tires now require 50-55 lbs to carry the load they are rated for. I have D range tires on my single axle camper rated for 2,200 lbs at 50 PSI. That gives me a safety range of over 800 lbs for the 3,500# trailer.

Got the passenger side just about done . The front differential was a little more work to get in than I had thought it would be but after a couple of attempts and lots of colorful words I managed to get it .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Had to buy a new shop press . Attempting to take apart the old left side hub to get the ABS ring and bearing spacer and the 12 ton wasn’t up to it . The press bar bent . So I bought a 20 ton and it was a breeze .

20 ton. Yeah, that looks up to the task.

Just a cheap Harbor Freight unit . But it works tried to buy my neighbors 20 ton OTC press . Real nice unit but 2k was a little high for my needs . It’s worth it as they are like 3k new
