Jerry, here is the info on my truck.

Joe Borg, do want this stuff in your problem log even if it has not yet
been officially been declared a problem?

11/97

2wd reg cab, short wheelbase

N/A on this model.

Yes

Possibly. Front tire outer edges show significant rounding. At current
wear rate, it would appear that the front tire outer edges will be down
to the wear indicators by 5K miles. Haven't yet rotated tires.

~2400

Came from factory with 215/75s on the 15x7 rims. Dealer upgraded to
235/70s with 15x8 split spoke rims.
