Does anyone have a 1500HD that has the tire pressure sticker still on it? I am looking for tire pressure info, thanks, Henry.

are your tires load range E? if they are then 80 psi in the back and 55 psi in the front. that is what my 2500hd says on its sticker, ur 1500hd shouldnt be any different.

Post 11. You should weigh your truck with and without the trailer. With the weight distributing hitch, you are going to need to up the fronts.

Thanks for the info on my tire inflation request. The tires are 245 LT's and E rating. I tow a 26 FT 5th wheel travel trailer and have been given different pressures by even the dealer. I have been running 55 all around not towing and 55 front and 75 rear. I just had new tires put on and the shop put in 36 all around, so I put in 45 to start, and other suggestions will be appreciated, Thanks, Henry.

I run my fronts around 40-45, rears 30-35. You're going to be much happier with those lower pressures. Truck will ride nicer, handle better, and tires will last longer.

I don't know what your pin weight is, but I'm guessing it's not to bad for a fairly small trailer. Maybe 1000-1200 lbs. I'd put the rears up around 50 when hauling, and the fronts about the same. Good luck.
