What I meant is the shops will put the runflat in. I've had it done, before I gave up on them. I'm starting to wonder if there aren't different kinds based on some of the responses on this thread. The hutchinson style runflats I've seen, which I got via wheels that were already assembled, were...

Also... to get back to OP, I don't know about the southeast, but here in the southwest, it's not hard to find places that will do it. The commercial truck tire places will generally do it - the places 18 wheelers go that specialize in tires - as will anyone who does heavy off-road equipment...

I don't think we are necessarily disagreeing. All I am saying is that for the run flat to be useful, and I think we would probably agree here, the carcass of the tire has to remain intact sufficiently so that the tread and sidewall contain the run flat donut. The ones I have seen are not really...

I've got nothing against it at all. Or red cars.

I remove the runflat in the same general method as removing the rim half. You get a strap around it and just pull it out with the tire strapped down. I think you can see this general approach in youtube videos too, I've seen guys use a wrecker crane to do the same thing. To go in they corkscrew...

Why not just buy 6TLs? I just walk into oreilley's and there they are. God bless america.

If painting a car red makes it go faster, does adding a flag to a MV let it pull more?

My method: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?156621-Solo-Tire-Mounting-The-Easy-Way But you can do it in the field with a bar too. It just takes longer and you swear more.

This lull in your LMTV spending since yours works is an excellent time to buy a trailer though. Just saying. I still "need" a water buffalo...

My name isn't "319cssb"... no worries.

The "problem" that day is, you know how it kind of bounces around between 1/8th positions, well it was bouncing between E and 1/8th or whatever and I lost track of how long it was doing that. So then it just said E and turned off... of course if you fill it at 1/8th you're leaving a lot in the...

You're quoting me, but I'm not the one that said "little do you know"... What's your supplier for bubble switch panels? I've got some I'd like to get made for a different application.

Does your CTIS work? Ha ha... My truck was solid no problems for maybe 15-20k miles and then it all started, just like everyone says. They are great trucks though, it just is what it is, they are old and sat around. Get on top of it when it does go wrong and you're going to be in great shape.

It's easy to laugh at the guy, but I had this bit of land once that had a patch on it, the magical patch, and on this magical patch, 350 days out of the year, you could drive right over it with just about anything. But on those other days, just depending on how the rain and I guess the ground...

I have never taken apart the allison panel, but I did get into a ctis module, and I've seen a lot of these kinds of bubble switches before. They are single piece films with the switches laminated inside, custom made for the specific application. You don't just find them off the shelf. They are...

Ran it dry 100ft from the gas station, walked it, filled a jerry can, walked it back, put the diesel in, started right up. No problems.

Mine shows empty right around the same time the engine stops running...

Concur, seen that a lot.

My keys are cracking, I didn't realize it was a cover thing over the actual buttons... Very interesting. I kind of live in fear that the D button will actually break as those membrane keys always seem to eventually and I'll be stranded somewhere with the stupidest of problems. I keep meaning to...

Wow!
