Accident averted and lesson learned (LONG)

[F350DRW1]

Go into any tire shop and tell them you want 4 MATCHING tires for the rear of a dually. From the same lot and the same mold. A Cooper dealer was the only guy who had a clue what I was talking about. Its getting bad out there.

It took Walmart 6 hours to change 6 tires on the dually, I watched them the whole time, they almost put an impact on the simulators, then right before they went to install the new tires on the truck I asked them what PSI did they put in and there response was "34psi, like every other tire", WRONG AGAIN NANCY.. Needless to say I got $300 dollars knocked off and I will never have to touch my tires again, Road side assistance, life time balace, rotation, replacement, flat repair, and a 60k mile warrenty thrown in and I can take it to a trucking company for anything and Walmart will pick up the tab, and that also include road side.. There were other issues also, but I wont bore you with those

YEP!! I learned all I need to know 'bout workin' on trucks down at da Wal-Mart!

Thanks WD40! We had a great trip to the Ouachita State Park. They had a new area with full hookups, it was very nice. We had a nice uneventful tow, got around 9mpg. We stopped and got on some CAT scales also. GCVW=16,000# and some change. About what I had guessed. Don't tell the TDS gang , but I was over my GVWR by a little. We had around 4100 front and 4800+ rear. I'm starting to get used to this towing thing.

I love towing with my PowerStroke, it is just like having Fun. LOL. Sounds like I need to go and check out Ouachita State Park again. Glad you had a good time. I am leaving Wed going camping up at Lead Hill, AR.

What part of Arkansas is Ouachita? We have camped up at Beaver Lake near Rogers (loved that area). Looking to take another trip out that way sometime.

The Ouachita State Park is on lake Ouachita and in the Ouachita National Forest. It is kind of North/West of Hot Springs a little. BEAUTIFUL area.
