It should be in your owner's manual. If I remember correctly back to my 3500 days, all three tires on one side stay there. Driver's side is clockwise, passenger's side is counterclockwise.

Not too bad, only one side has to be up in the air at a time.

The inner dual goes straight to the front, the outer dual gets reveresed and goes on the inside, and the front gets reversed and goes on the outside on the rear. I've been doing this about every 9000 miles and I am getting 75 and 80000 miles out of the stock Michelins. This keeps the treads flattened out pretty much and I use 70 in the front and 65 in the rear or 65 and 60, I can't remember.

Do you haul a trailer with that truck? I was wonder why the high pressure in the tires? I'm running 7,900# and front is 45 PSI and Rear is 40 PSI... No trailer towing...

Curious more than anything....

Yeah, I pull a 30 foot GN hauling tractors. I tried pressures clear down to 45 but it seemed a bit squishy to me. The 70/65 or 65/60 combo seems to work real well. See link below.

How is your tire wear at those pressures?
I've also heard some peole don't rotate them, they just replace the front tires more often.

Guess I was backwards in my original reply. But then again, I have always been somewhat twisted!
