RE: SRW vs Dually
6 tires cost more than SAME BRAND 4 tires
jeeze this is a tough crowd :)
The tires that come on a RAM DRW are different than the 18-20” tires on their SRW trucks.

RE: do you do this
To help prevent dry rot don’t park directly on soil, asphalt, or concrete. Park on leveling pads or similar
I bought some 2x6 redwood, cut them in half and run my rig up on those. I feel that it bought me time, especially with the first couple sets of China bombs. Always covered, too.

Redwood DANG!!!

RE: SRW vs Dually
This one is easy. DRW if you need the carrying capacity because you need it. If you don't, SRW because they're better in every other way.
Aint gots da SEXY hips!

RE: Rated engine power
" Every DYNO event I have been to the Stock Cummins nets about 85% of advertised HP. Sometimes a bit more.
That's in part because the intercooler is out of the picture. They make a big difference!
WHY is it out of the picture?
Not much different than on the road with a big fan blowing at the front.

RE: Wheel Bearings
can,t hurt and should not be a big expense. p.s a new seal also and no china bearings put back in.
National or SKF USMade seals.

RE: Rated engine power
"In the US, all light duty vehicles are rated using the same testing procedures defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers. It is horsepower at the rear wheels with all accessories installed (A/C is likely turned off)."
No way this can be true. Every DYNO event I have been to the Stock Cummins nets about 85% of advertised HP. Sometimes a bit more.

RE: Wheel Bearings
The top "D" surface seats into hub like normal. The lower "D" grips the spindle, so there is no spindle wear.
You could use this on a grease system also. The National Seals are US Made.

RE: Glow plug still in warranty
I was havin a bit of fun!
I had glow plugs on my 81 VW Diesel Pickup. SUCKED to replace, did so several times in the 300k I owned it.
Had them in my 86 C20 6.2/6.5, changed them many times over the 400k+ miles I owned it. Not too bad to replace, a couple of them sucked!
I have owned three 5.9 and two 6.7 CUMMINS, never touched the grid heater systems. GOLDEN

RE: Truck batteries
Just replaced an interstate from Costco which had 42 mo. It went 43. They gave me full price on a new one but had to pa the difference because their new one went to 36 mo now and he said the battery cost them more. I didn't complain since I got $89 credit he didn't have to honor.
They replaced the two Optimas after whatever the short warranty was on them. They actually gave me my money back and then I proceeded to buy the Costco's that went for many more years.
Manager said no problem after looking up how much I spend there. The general employees are told to say NO.
Their new warranty is 3 years no pro rating.

RE: Truck batteries
I replaced the OE batteries on my 2015 CTD a couple of months ago but they were struggling a bit last spring. 4 years seems to be about all I get out of vehicle batteries. But they also see temperatures above 100 and below zero every year and I don't imagine that helps much in longevity.
I recently did the same on my 15. They don't like having batteries that are not in perfect condition. My Son replaced his last winter on his 15, cold weather in DFW.
