Back in town
Hey all, name's Matt. Just got home after eight years in the Navy and man is it good to be home again. Looking forwards to meeting some of y'all when the opportunities arise!
Nothing fancy in the garage, just an '01 Excursion 7.3 and a '71 Chevelle...
If y'all see me around, feel free to toss a wave or say hi

I love the old PBY. They flew that sucker in when they brought it to the base. They were flying in all the old propjobs and jets that the various squadrons used to fly. Found it amusing the paint schemes at the time matched between the plane and the car, lol.
Thanks bud, thanks for yours as well 
Looking forwards to the next meet!

Right on man. Pressures seem a little high for driving empty, especially with the DRW setup - disperses the weight more evenly. Towing a load I could definitely see 63-65, but empty it seems a bit excessive. Those center tread lugs on the back have no more siping on them compared to the fronts. Would hate to see you wear out four tires prematurely, ya know?
Personally I like to use the chalk-line to get optimal pressure. Air the tires to the max, draw a line across the tread with chalk. Drive a little bit then check the line. Initially it should be wearing off in the center due to over inflation. Keep dropping the pressure in small increments and redrawing the chalk line until it wears off evenly, and that's your ideal pressure for each corner individually.
