What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

that sounds crazy low.

Ford also said that their computer simulations showed the tires at 30+ PSI actually increased the risk of rollover.

Then they started making the inflation pressures 30psi front, 35psi rear

I had a 97 explorer. I set the tires at 35 from the time I bought it.

Any CDL driver worth his salt has a club and checks his tires every time he stops and during his pre-trip inspection.
Most 1 ton pickup drivers never bother to check the inside tires, though.
It is a combination of the lack of air pressure along with the sidewalls rubbing that causes the tire temp to skyrocket and delaminate.

I've had a CDL for about 35 years now.
Haven't used it for work for decades but I refuse to let it go back to a regular driver license.
Besides, how many people in IT Management have a Class A CDL?

I've had a CDL since about 1989. Now, living in Florida, I am able to keep the Class-A, but don't need to have a medical card, as long as I haul within Florida and only haul private/owned stuff ( racing)

I'm gonna say it.

I'm too chicken to drive anything that big!!!

At least on public roads.. Nevermind backing up..

I'm with you. I've driven a 40 ft bus around for a bit and that wasn't fun. can't imagine hitting some of these random docks with no room.

I still get my medical every 2 years so I can keep it as an interstate CDL.

One bonus to keeping my CDL is I never have to worry about being flagged for being overweight when hauling one of my antique cars in an enclosed trailer.
My one car weighs 5,000lbs and then when you add in the enclosed trailer and the truck pulling it and you can be overweight for a regular Class C license in no time.

I used to drive these for the Air Force. 68,000# with 6,000 gallons of jet fuel.

Oh I'd drive THAT...
