your dealer can help you find out what they are.
Never exceed the maximum load or inflation
pressure of your wheels.
Driving on under-inflated tires can cause the tires
to overheat, which leads to the breakdown of the
tire's internal structure. Improper inflation also
can reduce your ability to control your vehicle.
Tire blowouts occur more during summer months
than any other time of the year. Properly inflated
tires last longer, run quieter, grip better, increase
fuel mileage and safely support and control your
vehicle.
Check your tire pressure once a month and each
time before you take a trip with your truck and
camper. Use a quality air pressure gauge to
check the pressure. Do not under-inflate or over-
inflate your tires. Inspect your tires for uneven or
excessive wear. Look for bulges, cuts, blisters on
the sidewalls.
When you're traveling, inspect your tires regularly
and check and adjust cold inflation pressure every
day that you travel.
I
CAUTION
Individual wheel position weights must not
exceed the maximum tire load capacity.
Maximum tire load capacity can only be
achieved utilizing the maximum allowable psi
as listed on the sidewall of the tire.
Weight Distribution
The truck must be weighed with occupants and full
of fuel. Drive onto the scales and get the weight
of the total truck. Next pull forward until the front
axle is off the scale and get the weight on the rear
axle. Subtract the weight on the rear axle from
the total truck weight to get the weight on the
front axle.
With the camper loaded and ready for a camp
outing, pull on the scales as before and get the
weight of the total truck and camper. Next pull
forward until the front axle is off the scale and get
the weight on the rear axle. Subtract the weight
on the rear axle from the total truck and camper
weight to arrive at the weight on the front axle.
Subtract the truck weights from the total truck and
camper weight for each axle. This amount should
be less then the truck manufacturer's GAWR
rating as shown on the Federal Certification Label.
If you are over the GAWR rating, you will need to
remove or shift weight accordingly.
Once you are less then the GAWR, you need to
weigh each individual wheel to insure you are not
overweight from side to side. Again pull on to the
scales, but with only the right front tire on the
scales. Pull forward and get the weight of the right
rear tire. Do the same for the left side tires. First
the front and then the rear. Take the GAWR rating
of the front axle and divide by 2. Do the same for
the rear. This is the GAWR for each axle end. Now
subtract the individual wheel weights from the
individual GAWR for each wheel. If the amount is
less you are within the GAWR for that axle end. If
the amount is more, you are over the GAWR for
that axle end and you will need to adjust how your
unit is loaded to bring the weight down within the
GAWR.
Proper weight distribution, load management and
operating within established limitations will aid in
safe and enjoyable travel.
