I think you may have transcended the entire "being a dick" description with this one.

Actually, I am just jealous because you got to point it out first.

Has anyone ever looked into using a super single tire instead of dual rear wheels? I know Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone all make super singles for OTR trucks. Not sure if you can get them in Super Duty sizes.

In this link on the second page there is a ebay link with a dodge that has them.

Motorhome Magazine Open Roads Forum: Super Singles/ Wide based tires on Dually?

It seems that you would have to lift and go to 22.5" tires. I looked at a lot of threads from different boards.

Sale and sell are not syllables, but he didn't use them in that context. Had he said "I want to sale my truck" then you would be correct. He said he wants to make his truck more "saleable" and that is still a correct term. Not the most commonly used, but still correct.

I can't think of who it was right off hand, but there is a guy(might be 95dually) in the 94-97 psd forum that is looking to do just that.

It's "are not", not "or not". They're two simple words - I don't know why some people have so much trouble using them correctly!

The English language is difficult to master but not impossible. For the past five years, I have worked side by side with consultants from India. Although India has more than 26 different languages, the "official" language is English because of prior British rule. These Indians can speak formal English better than most Americans.

The phrase "Who Dat" is not in their vocabulary!

Haha, Believe it or not (bet you wont) that was a typo.... I know the correct use of the two (not too, or to) words.

Why would you want to spend money to make your truck less valuable?

OK, Thanks. I didn't know Rickson did that for DRWs. I knew they had 19.5 inch rims for SRWs.

Could you just run the outer rims? That might give a smoother unloaded ride also.

is there anyway to use the dually obs rear in a 1999 up? i know it has drum brakes.Not sure if it is a dana or sterling in the osb duallys. The f450 obs has disc brakes but i think the rear is too narrow for a pick up chassis???
