All the typical red tape. Like my last few jobs I just brought in with me and put it away with my lunch cooler. Then placed my fire radio on the shop shelf. I'm glad I live where I do. It seems the laws get tighter and more restrictive the more you head east.

Like I tell most people. Carrying a weapon is like your seat belt. I know there is days we all just skip the seat belt for that short trip or what not. Now if you have accident you don't get the split second to put on your seat belt. So if you have confrontation without your weapon you not going to tell the attacker "Hey wait a second while I go to my tuck to get my rifle." not going to happen. The only way mine will get stolen is off my dead body. I just had this conversation on CF about a week ago where a gent wanted to bolt in a pistol box in the truck. Same principal. If you don't have it on you want good is it locked up in the truck? Like another CF member chimed in and mention that some courthouses and government offices will offer you a lock box for your weapon while on premise.

Found. twelve point cap screw, M10-1.50 x 35mm Cummins p/n 3903834, http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/forums/1st-gen-ram-all-topics-93/thread-size-starter-bolts-299110/#post3061668

I know a lot of us exceed the number now and then. But I rather be aware of weights and what I'm hauling. Still in all the weight to tire formula should still hit close to the proper PSI numbers. Also you have to remember the 3500 series is with 6 tire vs. 4 tires on the 2500. Stability and safety is part of the GVWR number. I'm not foolish. That is all very dry spruce. Looks impressive but not even heavy enough to sit on the overload springs. Now this load of red fir was much heavier. You can clearly see its sitting down on the overloads. This one I crept off the hill really slow. I know I was pushing my luck. I always hated those loads that where just heavy enough to bang the overload springs on the stops. Listen to that weird clang noise all the way down a mountain.

Ok TFaoro. Lets see if you right... Take a tread depth gauge and measure from the shoulders and then from the center. Are all 3 numbers the same or is the center on just a wee-bit thinner? I'm going to bet the center is at least 1/32 thinner than the shoulders as a minimum. This is another way to judge your inflation pressure over inflated typically the center thin out quicker. Or you can do like Hammer suggested smooth pavement and stick of chalk and see if the shoulders wear off.

@BBHD Can you show me a link for those? I've got a local here that is looking for better headlights.

Look a this picture again TFaoro... I'm only 160 pound from GVWR. I have absolutely no need inflating to 80 PSI in the rear. I would be WAY over weight GVWR weights. Even loaded like this I have no need for above 60 PSI.

The math will get you right close to that same measurement too.

Best off scaling still. I've seen some vehicles under weight my own and seen other tipping the GAWR... Even at full GAWR of both axles using your tires. 5200 Front Axle GAWR = 43.7 PSI 6084 Rear Axle GAWR = 51.2 PSI Total GVWR: 11,284 pounds... Way over GVWR of 8,800 pounds...

Won't work. You'd be surprised how much difference there is from truck to truck. Like last fall scaling the RV. Then like my 96 I just rescaled again. 3340 / 2 = 1670 / 3042 = 0.54 x 80 = 43.9 PSI Front 2640 / 2 = 1320 / 3042 = 0.43 x 80 = 34.7 PSI Rear GVW = 5980 pounds.

@The_Hammer What was your axle weights? Front and rear.

Oh your playing with fire now... Nothing like a woman scorned...

Like most bad guys don't like messing with good guys with guns...

Absolutely. They keep poking at the idea of coming to get guns. I would have that Henry locked up in a safe out of sight. Personally I hope people stand up for their rights and never give up their weapons or theirs lives. I will say its time to make a stand for our rights and take back some of them from the Gov't.

I've heard of some long highway miles on Mitchelin's. The most I can get from a set of tires is about 30-40k miles. Too much offroad driving that tends to shorten the tire life. I'm running a China made Black Lion HT's to see if I can break out of that problem. I like the traction of the A/T's just doing like the short life span. H/T's seem to be holding up even better but require more 4WD use on dirt roads and ice.

Personally myself I would put that beautiful weapon away in a gun safe. Then go buy a good ol' farm rifle or something with a few miles on it. That way if you lose the battle the victor doesn't walk away with your beautiful weapon. Something like that above I would make sure my family could pass along. Like my ol' Fire Star 9mm it so cheap of a pistol I don't think anyone would want to even steal the darn thing.

Might want to try the math out and see if it helps or not.

Most likely over-inflated. Even my truck using the calculated formula I get roughly 57 PSI on the front axle and about 40 PSI on the rear axle. Again you can't use these numbers because of weight differences and tire differences as well. http://articles.mopar1973man.com/general-cummins/35-exterior/354-tire-inflation-formula

Problem I have is most all politicians are crooks. They can all sell you a big bag of BS and even provide the bag for you take it home. They all sound great till they get into office then turn there back on the American public and do what makes them feel good. Look at Obama, Clinton, Bush, etc. Heck I keep seeing how Obama needs to take a few million dollar vacations because his job is rough. Heck he's not even doing his job. Now if we had a independent that could stand on his own two feet and not bow down to the New World Order group I would take notice.

So what was the AC ripple voltage during the test? I would like to know too. ECM doesn't create lock and unlock issues. PCM is in control of that. Still in all I would test drive the truck with the alternator unhooked and see what you get. Most likely you'll find your lock and unlock issues gone. Which now points back to failed alternator that just tested good on a test bench. Which I just said above that my alternator was physically damaged and had high AC noise issues and it PASSED. http://forum.mopar1973man.com/topic/10827-help-bad-alternator-or-apps/?do=findComment&comment=124028

As long as the pressure isn't below 10 PSI for any length of time I don't think you'll have much problems. Between 14-20 PSI you should see optimal return flow. This insures good cooling and lubing of the pump. So if it does drop just a pound or two not a huge issue.

Might be but I just don't have enough loose clothing to hide than thing. Not comfortably. I'm not going to wear big sweater and large jackets all the time. I'm usually in jeans and tee-shirt. So it really hard to conceal carry without imprinting or making it uncomfortable.

Kind like my 9mm just a bit too big for conceal carry comfort.

I'm going to be a bit more strict about my open carry. I'm going to be making sure I wear it at all time when I leave home. I might have to start using my shoulder holster a bit more too.
