Yeah we had a couple of Rams in the other day and they sucked putting tires on because we couldn't get the bead to sit with out the help of a cheata, its like a big air compresson gun that can shoot about 150-250 psi, when using it it feels like you just got kicked in the gut lol...

yeah for some reson the side walls just kind of suck sometimes, and don't get me started on those lugs they have on there. Most of them are crap when taking off the wheel. Trust me I think Doge trucks are great I would have one too if gas prices didn't suck. But yeah we have had to get new lugs on a few because the factory ones just suck.

yeah, any tire that size will create problems with those beads... they need to be sturdy to support the workload of the truck. that will never be fun... if only there were an easier way to tinker around with them.

I work for a company called Discount Tire, so yeah just tires and wheels for now.

I still have some experiacne in other areas though. I have a full year of training at a trade school in automotive tech I just wasn't able to finish my last year...

We work at a place called "auto repair" but the odd thing is as long as we worked there, weve only dealt with trucks

I took 3 years of Automotive Power Technology in high school... always had a new project to work on... even got to tinker around with a 2000 Porsche Carrera.... oh, and i had to take it back to the parking lot when it was finished being worked on because it was a teachers (but it wasnt a manual transmission )
