Cleaning Dually

i have a SRW duramax.
i have two sets of wheels for it and the missus car with snow tires mounted on them.
when the wheels come off at changeover time i do completely scrub the inside of each wheel / tire for the 6 month storage interval .
palmolive, hot water , good scrub brushes .
my garage has drains in the floor so i can wash my rigs inside .
that really helps . no frozen fingers !

I don't....don't rotate them either...:)

No need to rotate your tires when you replace them every few months :B

Good point Rich:)......Rick, you're right about the Alcoa's....that's even the more reason not to rotate:)

No big deal to jack up the back, remove tires and clean them. 'Course you won't be seeing me do this.

I hope not, you have the nice Alcoa wheels. Unless you want the kid throwing them on the dis-mount machine every 7500 miles and hoping for the best. My summer wheels/tire set do show signs of non rotation on the front but it's just the price you pay with aftermarket wheels. Much better looking than the old steely wheel with a skin on it IMO.

Marty

Marty, Marty! it's ok buddy, no big deal, don't fret on this, let it go......you don't have to if you don't want to......:B

Jim let it go Marty drives in water puddles more than not so how can he need to wash the dual tires on the inside. He does have an older truck as I do but I live on the dry side of the state of Washington


chevman

it is OK that I do not warsh the inside duals! oh thank goodness....I was about to have a hart e tack! oh thank goodness........

Then all larry has to do, is cross that thar columbia river thing, and his inside duals will be warshed. I cross lake warshington upon occasion, maybe that is what keeps them clean.......or this sunday when I cross the salish sea....salt water is really good for cleaning from what I understand. rust's that dirt right off!

Marty

What if you jack up each side to create some clearance ?

LOL
Marty you don't clean them when your rotating them :W

Mine get hosed off twice a year when I'm changing out summer/winter wheels and tires.
