Duallies track better while towing a trailer at high speeds down the road. Insurance will be a bit higher and 2 more tires to worry about. One ton vehicles by law have parking restrictions on them in Fairfield, Ohio.

Yeah I think just because of the extra width I will stick with a SRW. I enjoyed my old 250 SRW and it was plenty capable

If it is for the right price how about converting it to SRW?

but then the good price is gone... that's a lot of converting money, unless you happen to have all the parts.

If it is barely a good deal then no it will not be worth it, but if it is a sweet deal then it can be done. Sell the wheel spacers and tires or trade them for someone who wants a dually. Truck beds can be found cheap and in great shape from takeoffs. I have seen this done quickly and easily.

well i was assuming you meant totally swapping it out, which would mean changing front hubs as well rear axle, etc... lots more than swapping rear wheels and a bed if you want to do it right.

First off I never do anything right. That is boring.
Only know dodge trucks well enough to say that the differences in em are only rear leaf springs, rear axle length, extra bolt in frame brace and bed flares. Once you remove the front wheel spacers the front end is identical in coil springs and even brakes. The main frame of the trucks are identical also. I am wondering if scarface even cares about this at this point as I believe I am wearing my finger out for nothing. ;) On the good side though my finger print is disappearing and now I am hard to identify. ![]() |

FYI : Insurance is no higher in Ohio for a dually. I insure my 02 Ford F-350 Diesel 4x4 SRW for $20 more a year than my 06 3500 GMC Duramax diesel 4x4 dually... Both are crew cabs and diesels. both are loaded to the hilt... In some states like Connecticut, an truck with dually rear wheels is considered a commercial truck. Even in private hands.. And can run in upwards of $1,100.oo a month to insure... (I have a buddy that moved from here to Connecticut and is going nuts about this policy) Insurance rates have to do with your driving record, age, sex, and credit score (if you can believe that) |
