Tire Inflation
{Warning
To reduce the risk of loss of
vehicle control and personal
injury:
Tires must be properly inflated,
and your vehicle must not be
overloaded (see the information
onInformation on Loading the
Vehicle 064 and "Tire Load and
Inflation Table" under Tire
Pressure 0322).
Be sure to keep tires properly
inflated. A tire that is run while
seriously underinflated may
overheat to the point where the
tire may lose air suddenly and/or
catch fire, possibly resulting in
personal injury and/or property
damage.
See “Tire Load and Inflation Table”
under Tire Pressure 0322. In no case should the front or rear
tire load exceed the maximum
recommended gross axle weight
rating (front GAWR or rear GAWR).
The efficiency of the vehicle will be
upset if air pressure in the tires are
not equal. Balanced inflation results
when the tires on the same axle
carry the same air pressure.
A difference in pressure between
the front and rear tires may be
permissible within certain limitations,
however, there should not be a
difference in pressures between the
right and left tires on the same axle.
Always use a truck tire pressure
gauge (a pocket-type gauge is not
advised) when checking inflation
pressures. Visual inspection of tires
for inflation pressures is not enough,
especially in the case of radial tires.
Underinflated radial tires may look
similar to correctly inflated radial
tires. If the inflation pressure on a
tire is found to be low frequently,
have your dealer correct the cause.
Be sure to install the tire inflation
valve caps to prevent dirt and
moisture from getting into the valve core, which could cause air leakage.
An underinflated tire in a dual wheel
assembly is harder to notice than
one in a single wheel assembly. The
properly inflated dual tire carries its
own load plus that of the
underinflated tire. Both tires can
overheat, which may result in
property damage and/or personal
injury (see previous WARNING).
Tires Used or Stored for a Long
Period of Time
Tires are a rubber product and
degrade over time, even if they are
not being used. If any of your tires is
5 to 7 years old or more, please
have them inspected for safe
driving. For further information,
please check with the tire
manufacturer.
Dual Tire Operation
The outer tire of a pair on dual
wheel installations generally wears
faster than the inner tire. If this
occurs, reverse the position of the
tires to equalize wear and get better
tire life.

Warning (Continued)
gas engines, to learn which
wheels and tires are correct, look
at the "Vehicle Certification and
Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions Plate" on the left side
rear pillar panel below the striker
(single cab) or on the left center
pillar panel beside the shoulder
seat belt anchor (crew cab).
Wheel size is also stamped on
the side of each wheel.
To help avoid personal injury and
property damage if a wheel must
be changed, seek expert tire
services if you can. If you must
remove the wheel without any
such help, do the following:. If the tire looks as if it may
be underinflated, stand to
the side and check whether
the wheel assembly
appears normal by
comparing it to another
wheel assembly on the
vehicle.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Let the air out of the tire by
taking out the valve core.
If you have a way to put air
back in a tire, note that it is
good safety practice to let
the air out of both tires of a
dual assembly before taking
off the damaged tire and rim
assembly from the vehicle.
After letting out the air, take
off the tire and rim assembly
and install a spare tire and
rim assembly.
If your vehicle is equipped
with a differential lock
system or limited slip
differential (LSD), it might
start moving when the
engine power is transmitted
to the rear axle even when
one of the wheels on the
axle is raised clear of the
ground. Do not start the
engine with any rear wheel
in contact with the ground.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If you are not fully
experienced on the
procedures to follow, and/or
are not equipped with the
proper tools and equipment,
again, do not attempt to
raise the vehicle, or remove
or install the tire and wheel
assembly—seek expert tire
services.
. Do not put air back in a tire
that has been run flat, or is
seriously low on air, without
first having the tire taken off
the wheel and the tire
checked for damage.
. Note that taking off and
mounting tires on wheels
requires proper tools, safety
equipment and special
training. A person can be
severely injured or killed
and damage can result from
using the wrong service
methods. Truck tires and
