I just loaded the '91 Cummins with firewood to use as ballast while plowing. It's a great system: load it in the fall, plow all winter, and then stack the wood on the back porch in the spring. Mousies make homes in the stack, and the cat has something to do during the summer to stay fit and alert.
Anyway, you all know the old joke: How do I know if I have enough firewood in the truck? Answer: You have enough when the tires blow out.
I went out to move Mr. Dodge and the rear tires were flat. Put in some air, and it came out the sidewalls. Last time I replaced the tires was 15 years ago, when he and I retired. Went and bought two new tires, and put them on.
I am getting to the real question, so bear with me. I am in the habit of putting Never-seize (molybdenum goo) on the wheel lugs, to make removing and reinstalling the nuts easier, every 15 years. Is there a reason not to do this, or is it OK to do it?
