On the first day, God created the dog and said:  

"Sit all day by the door of your house and bark 

at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this 

I will give you a life span of twenty years."

 

The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. 

How about only ten years and I'll give you back 

the other ten ?"

 

And God said that it was good.

 

On the second day, God created the monkey and 

said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them 

laugh.  For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span."

 

The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years ? 

That's a pretty long time to perform. How about 

I give you back ten like the dog did ?"

 

And God again said that it was good. 

 

On the third day, God created the cow and said, 

"You must go into the field with the farmer all day 

long and suffer under the sun, have calves and 

give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, 

I will give you a life span of sixty years." 

 

The cow said "That's kind of hard to want me 

to live for sixty years. How about twenty 

and I'll give back the other forty ?"

 

And God agreed it was good.

 

On the fourth day, God created humans and 

said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your 

life. For this, I'll give you twenty years."

 

But the human said, "Only twenty years? 

Could you possibly give me twenty plus, 

the forty the cow gave back, the ten the 

monkey gave back, and the ten the dog 

gave back; that makes eighty, okay ?"

 

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

 

So that is why for our first twenty years, 

we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. 

For the next forty years, we slave in the 

sun to support our family. For the next 

ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain 

the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, 

we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

 

Life has now been explained to you.

 

There is no need to thank me for this valuable 

information. I'm doing it as a public service. 

If you are looking for me, I will be on the 

front porch.

    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page 
    • Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.       
    • We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper. 
    • Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money". 
    • I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.
