Be sure the tires are inflated based on LOAD. Then it will ride good.
Cummins12V98, way too much work for many! just pump up to the Max and run that way all the time!:S
I can't get away with that the low end torque of our Cummins makes driving empty on wet roads very challenging without the correct pressure for the load!! Starting out from s dead start it is VERY hard not to spin the tires, unless aired down to correct pressure for the load.
Very true about slipping the tires! The open diff on the 98 was not too bad with only one wheel slipping but at 300K I changed to a locking rear then it was SCARY.
I have always ran my pressures based on load, maybe that is why I easily get 100K and more out of a set of Michelin or BFG's. Maybe those people know something that make those weight/inflation charts.:B
