I'm hoping for the best....the gaskets were leaking everywhere and the truck still ran OK. I'm wishing for an absolute animal with the SRL+. Not a lot of guys around here run gearhead tunes...most are using Innovative, I guess because they smoke the most. Not my cup of tea...

I'll probably have him do the driveshaft while he's there. He's giving me dealer prices on all of the parts...not as cheap as Tousleys, but close enough....a few dollars here and there.

What size tires do you need? I will keep an eye out for some used ones. Some of my trailers may have the same size tire/ wheel, maybe loan you some spare tires.......

Take a look, I'll assume 15" for right now and see what I find.

in all honesty, call belle tire and tell them you need trailer tires in that size. The tires from our stores will be mounted on wheels and they are about $170 per wheel and tire. Unless you absolutely need the wheels.

Thanks Rich. I have read a lot in my RV forum about guys running regular tires instead of trailer tires. What's the benefit?
