This is a screen shot from TM 9-2320-272-10 with last changes dated 30 September 2004. If there is something newer that I need to track down please let me know. Mine is a 923a2 so it appears the CTIS will run them to 70psi front and rear in highway mode. I haven't checked them manually but will...

Very good for a 5 ton and up CUCV. (Why is this posted here?)

Will do. I am about to go out of town for a week for Christmas so I will air them up and see if it helps. I would have to disable the CTIS to keep them up though. If a week at full pressure makes any difference then I will persue that option. I honestly don't hold out much hope but I will try...

I just skimmed the TM and it does say 70psi for the front and rear tires (the 939 series with 11x20 tires says 90psi). I guess I got mixed up with the 55mph speed limit or something. Last time I worked on one of the tires I manually aired it up to 60 psi and let the CTIS system have it from...

I have a 923a2 w/ CTIS. The CTIS runs the tires at 70psi (edited and corrected) highway mode and it seems to work well. The front tires don't look squished and the rear doesn't bounce around too much. I have a couple hundred pounds in the bed which is really nothing.

Yes, it is diesel. I will try that. Thank you.

I like the Goodyears because they do not have directional tread. Two of my Michelins are backwards and it drives my OCD nuts. Most of my wobble comes from the front where the Goodyears are though.

I have Goodyears on the front. I blew out a Michelin on the front and swapped both out for Goodyears. Even if I bought new tires I may still have the same problem.

Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it? If you did it, how? If you had a shop do it, how much did it run you (if you don't mind me asking)?

Running through town at slow speed I have a lot of wobble. Then I have about 40 miles of highway with a lot of bucking at certain speeds (47ish is the worst). Then slow speeds to the final location give me the same wobble. Temps here have been in the 60° range so I would imagine they get plenty...

The new truck looks sharp.

How does the fuel smell? I have a 100 gallon tank in my bed and the fuel looks similiar to what you are describing. There is about 50 gallons in it and it's smell reminds me of paint/ laquer thinner. It doesn't have a diesel smell at all to it. It is a yellowish foggy color, not at all green...

I have nothing to add besides the fact that I feel for you on the height issue. I have my wiper motor assembly memorized and a kink in my neck from trying to see stoplights.

I agree completely. I think the "used" market will grow as people get tired of them sitting in their yard.

I am not familiar with the deuce setup, but could you just remove the shaft between the rear axles and use the center axle to drive? Is this not possible or easy to do? Or would it be to hard to put back together if you did need the second axle?

I would think it could help a little. If your tires aren't all at the same level of wear there could be binding even at higher speeds.

Balancing is my second concern, far behind the out of round issue. I can feel (and see) my truck rocking and rolling at 5 mph. I didn't like balancing beads in my last truck. They clumped up if the tire had moisture in it plus if I checked the air pressure a bead would always get stuck in the...

Nice score. I would put them to work in something.

I am not sure if this is in the right section but here goes. I also tried the search function to see if this topic had been covered but didn't get much help. My 14.00 r20 tires are out of round. I understand this is a fairly common problem with not only large tires but tires that have spent a...

It may help if you mention what vehicle you have them on. It may differ on a tractor/ cargo truck/ van/ wrecker. I imagine it would be similiar on the front tires but the load on the rear may change the optimum running pressure. I am subbed as I think the responses will be similiar to the...
