RE: New tires for my 16K fifth wheel
The GY “G” tire as you already know is a great tire. Personally I would run then to 7 years.
GY did have a bad run of those tires but that was 13 years ago and since they have been a great tire.

RE: Multiple blowouts in short time
Ok to be clear. Zero non road hazard claims on GY Endurance tires since they were introduced over 3.5 years ago.

RE: Multiple blowouts in short time
Your first blowouts are not unexpected as the tires were old when you purchased the rig. GY Marathons have fallen out of favor over the years, and I don't think the GY Endurance makes your size. Sailun, although Chinese-made, has a stellar reputation. In fact, I've only heard of one failure, in multiple forums, and the reason was inconclusive. Lastly, there's no reason to replace bearings and hubs unless they already damaged. In some cases, its easier and cheaper to just replace the entire hub/race/bearing as a set.
What size doesn’t ENDURANCE sell?

GY ENDURANCE, Stellar record. NUFF SAID.
As mentioned be sure your suspension is dialed in.

RE: Storing a Trailer Aid
One Irv2 member had his trailer aid stored in two different TTs over a 8-9 year period till he had a ruined tire out on the hiway. All those miles and years...and the trailer aid wouldn't raise the flat tire enough to get the spare on. Always make a dry run at home before hitting the road. It could save some grief down the road.
Good point!!!
The one time I used mine on our Mobile Suites I added about 2.5” under my TA to get the bad tire off the ground.
My suspension was a TrailAire and had more travel than a standard sprung RV. I had done a lot of suspension work in driveway with it.

RE: Storing a Trailer Aid
You are a SMART Man owning a TrailerAid. Much safer than a bottle jack.
Used it on my 07 18k Mobile Suites. Good luck finding a spot. I leave mine in back seat floor towing boat. Throw it in the bed if someone rides in back.

RE: Towing vehicle Ford vs GMC Dually Super Duty (used)
I would not want a Dodge either seeings as they disappeared in 2011.
Dodge=Ram. Just because they put another name on it doesn't change who makes it
Actually 2013 is when it became OFFICIALLY "RAM".
We were both wrong:
2010
In 2009, the Chrysler Group restructured the Dodge brand. Cars and minivans went under the Dodge nameplate, while its trucks, the Dodge Ram and Dodge Dakota, became Ram trucks. Since the 2010 model year, Ram has been a separate part of the same company that focuses solely on trucks.

Went thru this before. My 11 and my Dad’s 12 both said Dodge in the sun glass holder above radio for legal reason it had to say Dodge at least one place.

RE: 2016 RAM CTD Diff Oil Change Question RE Gasket
"But you won’t be able to have a look at the ring and pinion and clean the magnet. Not good IMHO."
Even when I was running a MagHytec that has drain and fill plugs I always removed the cover for inspection.

RE: Andersen and 6'4" Ram
"As for the "hijacker" I'll bet he can't get that big heavy hitch out of his truck bed and re-installed in 15 minutes."
Well let's assume I am the so called "hijacker". I don't need a torque wrench to install mine. I can have mine removed or installed in 5 minutes MAX. Could be faster but I just turned 63.
