- Weekend at home means weekend maintenance. This weekend we tackle on a much needed tire change for our boat trailer. It lasted three years and its gotten us on so many weekend trips. It is time for the trailer to get a new set of tires.

Thank you! 😁
I've been thinking about getting one of those tire changers....nice to see it in action.
Oh yes super handy, very glad it worked out.
Nice!
So convienent being able to do this at home. So worth it
I had bent spring hangers (the upside down U's) on my travel trailer that caused that kind of tire wear. Not sure if your trailer has those, but it might be something to check.
We dont think ours has it, but thats good to know, we gotta look into it some more
I finally broke down and bought Goodyear Endurance tires for our boat trailer and our camping trailer... You can run them higher pressure than the cheaper tires out there. Up to 90 psi. In my opinion they are the best you can buy and well worth the money. As a side note, I wonder if you've ever replaced the starter in your 7.3? This morning our 7.3 wouldn't start. We're on our way back to Iowa and Wisconsin for the Oshkosh Airshow. The truck wouldn't crank over! So we were stuck here in Kansas!! But thankfully, we found a towing company and a repair shop right across the street! They had us up and running by 1:30 PM! We'll be back on the road tomorrow bright and early to avoid the heat... Over 100 here today... You two (3) take care!
Ahhh good to know think we will check goodyears out next time. Oh man bummer. Glad you guys were able to get great help oit there. Yes we did replace our starter awhile ago, check it out ua-cam.com/video/hHPP4M7oXNY/v-deo.html
Thank you, Safe travels!
@@wKKnDwarriors Correction... The max pressure is 65 psi. I don't know where I got that 90 psi number. I was wrong. I looked at the tires today and they say 65 psi. But, you have to adjust that for your weight. I think I got the 9 from 9000 lbs max weight @ 65 lbs psi... Anyway, they are great tires. I had so much trouble with ALL the other trailer tire brands. These are wearing like iron and I can run them at 60 psi. 10 lbs higher than tires it came with. By the way, we got to our camp site in Iowa today, safe and sound. Love you guys, and have a great summer!
@@azcharlie2009 ahh okay cool, thanks for updating us. Hope you guys are enjoying your summer as well 🤗
Your axles are bent from normal wear and tear. You can get away with bending them back a couple times by jacking up in middle of axle and use a straight edge or laser to show when it’s straight under load to see how much to bend it back. There are some UA-cam videos that show how to do it. Or you can take to a trailer shop or a good alignment shop and they will fix it. Most don’t bother fixing them if they don’t tow much. And new tires are cheaper than replacing or fixing the axle for some. Also make sure when towing that trailer is completely level and not putting more weight on one or the other axle.
Ahh okay make sense, thanks for chiming in that helps a lot. We always try to level out the boat when loading it back onto the trailer too. Thanks again 👍
