Tire Pressures?
I’ve noticed that 1/2 ton trucks have the same recommended tire pressures front and rear while 3/4 ton and up always have a pressure offset front to rear. Why don’t they run a offset on 1/2 ton trucks...

I have caused undue wear on tires because I overinflated, and underinflated tires. The absolute best way to adjust pressure is by taking the truck ready to roll over a scale that scales each tire... or at least measures both fronts and both backs. Then look at the tire specs and see what pressure you need to carry the load you have.
The only thing those load/inflation charts tell you is the “maximum” tire load at various cold inflation pressures. They in no way indicate that running higher pressure for a given load causes abnormal wear.
