Tires wear fast if you don't know how to drive. ;-) I should know, they only last 15k miles on my personal truck. Shouldn't be a problem to get over 60k miles out of a set of commercial tires driven sanely. My friend with the 06 has 90k on his tires, but they need replacing.
I'd check with your local dealer to see if there are any software updates for your truck. Otherwise, look into an Edge, Banks, etc. chip\programmer. More power while getting better mileage (my brother's 500 hp Dodge gets over 20 mpg, only 10 when the foot is heavy). I've seen my brother's truck practically push mud with his bumper... made it out alive. ;-) ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com -------------------------------------------------- From: <rea...@muddyfrogwater.us> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 5:00 PM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Service vehicle > Our bucket truck is a Dodge w/cummins and 6 speed.
