    Duratracs on 2500 diesel?

    There are 2 different compounds (2 models) of duratracs. One is the snowflake/severe weather tire that is a softer compound. They wear quicker.

    2020 5500 6.4 overheating with plow on highway

    I don’t think it’s an understanding issue at all. I’ve had plows on multiple brands gas and diesel. This is a 6.4 hemi problem.

    Spun Bearings - Advice on next step needed

    I think the key here is to know for sure everything else around the truck is in good condition. 2200-3k to get a truck back on the road for a reasonable service interval is a no brainer….problem is once down that rabbit hole and you start accumulating other costs it can get out of hand in a...
