the key is overinflated. the tires are not over-inflated; they are inflated to spec. phil that aint necessarily the case. the max pressure stamped on the sidewall is the max pressure at the max load. if your load is less than max you should run a lower pressure for better road contact handling and braking. while running the max pressure on the sidewall will not harm the tire it will compromise the ride quality increase nvh and will also impair the traction especially under wet or slick conditions. the ideal thing is to weigh the truck at each axle and using an inflation/pressure chart use the appropriate pressure for the load the tire sees. hope this helps mike on tue 3 oct 2006 140914 -0400 roy roy@home.net wrote your idea is sound but will be harder on equipment because of the gearing change. another way to save gas is to buy load range e tires. these tires can be inflated to 80 psi and then you will have less rolling resistance with the same gearing. i believe the 80 pounds is when the truck is loaded to its max. operating at 80 pounds m/t isnt going to put much rubber on the road and the truck will ride hard as hell imo. roy while it is true that 80 psi is required for max load capacity there is benifits from increase average presure from reduced rolling resistance which can improve mpg. the only real draw back is a stiffer ride on a bumpy road. tread design and profile plays a roll here too. a 83 series tires like a 235/83/r16 e will have less drag and rolling resistance than a 70 or 75 seris. it is also about 1 inch taller than a 245/75/16 too. finailly the tread design itself plays a roll too. a smooth tire with little or no cleats will consume less power than one with a meaty tread. look at a semi tire sometimes genrally unless you are carry enough weight to need it there is little or no gain in mpg with pressure over 55 to 60 psi so even a d range tire running at or near max pressue will roll nicely with a smooth tread. ----------------- theassholeman.com well well look what crawled under the door. tired of spreading false info at the other group and decided to drag your ass back here first you have a few questions to answer from the last time you were here. you remember them dont ya or are you here for another reason i figure there is another reason. your sig looks good. oh you didnt address the stopping issue with over inflated tires. care to take a shot .

i have a 1999 dodge dakota with the 5.2 liter v-8 engine.. my windshield washer stopped working although i can hear the pump motor running when i press the operate button but i do not get any washer fluid onto the windshield. i attempted to remove the electrical connector at the base of the reservoir so i can either remove the pump assembly that appears to be sealed into the plastic reservoir assembly with a rubber grommet or i if i have to remove the reservoir completely so i can bench test it. the connector is on a very short lead and i cant see what i have to detent or whatever to get the connector off. i tried pulling the pump assembly out of the reservoir assembly but it doesnt look like it is going to come out very easily. i would appreciate some information on this problem and i thank you for your cooperation. i tried to bring up the usenet search engine on google to check the archives as i am sure there is information regarding the above problems but i couldnt bring it up. . ok first step. you say you hear the motor running so i probably is. this is important and all to easily over looked dont ask me how i know make sure its full. next follow the line up to the firewall there will be a plastic connection like thing in the line at some point take the hose loose at this connection and run the pump you should get water at this point if you dont then the blockage is between here and the pump if you do then its between there and the nosel. the nosels themselves can cake up with crud and stop water flow. so can those pesky little plastic hose connections vacuum ts and straight splices work well for broken items in the washer fluid line. also while your running the pump or someone else is for you look to see if you can see water falling from under a fender indicating a broken line or connector. follow those steps first is what i would do. the likely hood of a clog is pretty good ive seen it more than once. also for a hose pulled loose or broken is there too. my main point is i wouldnt necessarily go straight to pulling the pump i would check the rest of the plumbing for flow and leaks 1st. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. .
