    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    I said I would report back after getting new Continental 22” tires so here I am! The Continental’s are much stiffer tires than the Goodyear Eagle Touring tires. The ”wiggle” is much improved but still there. It is good enough that I can live with it the way it is... BUT I won’t! I am...

    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    Here is where I am on this project. I will solve this and I will report back! I stopped at the local tire shop (not a chain store). I swear, I thought I was talking to Devildodge! Lol! “Do you spin your tires?“ “ how are you loaded side to side?” “Have you been to the Cat Scales?” and then...

    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    Ugh! Maybe I should start another thread? All of this is about a TT... I inflated my tires to 45 PSI. The wiggle is worse! Not a lot, but worse. My safety chains sway side to side slowly. Now for the surprising discovery. My rear passenger side tire is nearly worn smooth in the center...

    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    I started off empty since I was having a handling issue coming back from picking the TT up from the dealer. I also wanted to establish baseline axle weight numbers. If I wasn’t so payload challenged I would just load ‘er up and go. Once I solve the handling problem, I will load up for the...

    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    Yep! I should have checked the max PSI on my tires. It is 50 PSI. I will do a test drive tomorrow at 45. I am pretty sure that will do it. I‘ll report back. CFI? I have been a CFI for more years than I will admit too. I had a 1969 C-182. Great airplane. Yes we should talk.

    Highgear, My truck does have factory wiring and a factory brake controller. I can hear you about buying more truck than you need. In my case, I bought less trailer than I wanted. Trust me! Your way is WAY better! LOL!

    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    Thanks CJ7! When I referenced the jello I meant "wiggly". Where it repeatedly cycles/circles/loops around when driving straight. That is a good description. It is almost "unsteady" but, after settling in and driving, I know I do not have to correct. Just ride it out. It is not severe, just...

    Bought a TT - Pretty sure my truck will be okay. Am I?

    This is a helpful thread as it is very close to my situation. I have a 2019 Ram Limited 5.7, 3.21. I just bought a TT with a gvwr of 6900#’s. This is about a 1,000# lighter than the TT I would have liked to have bought but didn’t because of doing all of the numbers talked about in this...
