dually split rims

[billy]

i took the rears tires off the ram 3500 and took the 25" gooseneck trailer in to have them installed.
turns out 2 of the trailer wheels are split rims and the guy cant/wont work on them.
so since those tires still hold air
i had the guy simply put em back on.
i called the junkyard and realized i didnt know the particulars of the kind of rims i need to replace those two[S
welp
live and learn

1 inch wheels?

 

[sneakysnake]

1 inch wheels?

The 1" split rims are the most dangerous.

Like putting a C clip in a drive shaft, you can loose an eye.

They don't call em one eye makers for nothing!

I needed a good laugh today - thanks fellas! [cl

Find a truck stop or truck tire dealer. They can fix split wheels or recommend replacements.

it really is overkill for what i am doing
anybody need a tandem dually 25 foot heavy equipment gooseneck?

 

[billy]

if i was going to keep it
i was thinking about mounting a 20 foot shipping container on it.
secure mobile weatherproof storage

I borrow a tandem dually once in a while, actually 3 different ones. My gosh those things are heavy, pull about the same as my 18' bumperpull does with 10,000# of scrap iron on it.

it sure is nice for moving day
since the bed is at waist level i dont have to bend over during loading/unloading
and they hold an awful lot of household crap!

I keep thinking I need a high deck trailer, especially for loading stuff with a fork lift. They sure do put a car a long ways up in the air though. I hauled a new chevy back from Lexington, Neb and was towing with a 2013 gas Chevy, It would shift down 4 times on hills and be screaming 5 grand going 50, made about 4 mpg.

with the cummins it pulls fine
the other good thing about this type is no fenderwells
we get to use every inch of bed
