Just a personal observation

I am ready to put some new rubber on my 2008 duramax dually, the generals are the factory 225-75-17, would you recomend going up one size for better ride in the Michelin LTX M/S LT235/80R-17/E1 120R ?

I have had 2 sets of the Mich. LTX on mine then went to the Bridgestone Revo's and I got to tell you they are better than the Mich. they ride a lot better don't ware as bad on the outside fronts. They are not even in the same ballpark in the rain.

OK I didn't have to look far to dig this one out. I have to say that pic is a photoshop. He might have backed that truck up far enough to make it look real but that truck ain't gonna take off with that load lol. No wait he might take off with it but he won't get a city block with it.

I have Firestone bags with in-cab controls. I've had the truck into the installer three times for leakage and they leaking again. I try to keep at least 15lbs pressure in them. Getting very frustrated with this because the shop doesn't seem to be able to stop the leaks. Any ideas? This system cost me $700 and I want to keep it.

There is a fix to keep the front wheels vertical. I've seen it just don't remember where, might have been in one of the diesel truck mags I read.
