We bought our first TC last month. On our first trip to a family wedding in Alberta we had a blowout on the road to Sundre. Ended up that I ran over some highway FOD cuz there were two holes about an inch apart right in the middle of the tread.
I learned a lot while changing that tire. Lesson one was you have to put the Happijacks down to take the load off the rear axle and to get access to the spare tire on the Chevy 2500HD.
Lesson two was I have to find a better spot to mount that spare tire.
Lesson three was the best thing I packed for my first TC trip was the three ton bottle jack.
After the wedding we toured around southern Alberta and into Montana and North Dakota. Man are ever hooked on truck camping. Heading out again this weekend.
