Is there going to be a group buy, or a special,or both? How well do they work on a 2500HD SRW? Hate the hop on the socal freeways, especially when towing. I've tried different tires, pressures, and multitudes of hitch adjustments. I'm pulling a conventional trailer which tends to be rougher...
Great comments. Take your time, calculate pull angles, gravity, pull points, surface conditions, etc. and spend a few minutes or more planning how to recover the vehicle with no damage to you truck or anyone else. If the pull is not going as planned, stop and re-evaluate. Don't let your ego...
Yes, tires can make a big difference, even in the same size. My stock bridgestones were much more stable than the Michelins I put on it. My truck is 2wd and has all season tires. After about 10,000 the Michelins they have settled some, but I don't think they are as good for towing. Even the...

You could also carry a straight 2x6x8'...
I got the garmin Nuvi 260 with the text to speech. In my mind this is a must. I'm very happy with it, fits in the pocket for the pedestrian mode, and when in the truck I usually just lay it on the console lid, and never need to look at it, at least until my stomach starts to growl. BTW the...
Found my way from the Diesel place where I've hung out and occassionally posted since the migration frome the diesel page. When I first found this site there was little activity, until I checked last night. Amazing how fast this is growing! Anyway, signed in this morning and just wanted to...
