So in a couple months my family(wife, kiddo, and myself)are taking my 2019 3500 dually on a road trip. Going from Pennsylvania to Wyoming to Colorado to Oklahoma back to Pennsylvania. Roughly 5000 miles. Leaving right before Christmas. Roughly 3 weeks.

Truck will have roughly 11k miles on it when I leave. Now I already changed the oil at 3k(rotella T6 15w 40). Thinking of changing oil again before I go but switching to T6 5w 40. Also thought about changing the fuel filters before the trip. However, thinking maybe I should just take the fuel filters along just in case they get clogged and really need changed.

Any one want to add their two cents on what they would do???

Also wondering what extra supplies would you take???

Well, the gang is definitely right in the sentiment of bein forewarned is certainly forearmed.

Just a thought though from my personal experience... I change my fuel filters every 15K, I git fuel only from places that move it, rather than from the yinyang shops that might see 2 Volkswagens a month, and my engine mounted filter never really looks that bad.

@AK Bob Do you have tire chains for your dually?

I was thinking about getting a set but I have 255 80 17's with no spacers.

Wanted to get single tire chains but no room between the duels.

If you're traveling through areas that can/will snow, get chains. If you have to buy them while on the road, they charge way more. I've bought them as soon as I bought my truck and once had to use them when I was on really soft ground (no snow). They were a life saver.

Very good point. I would love to have them and never have to use them but have that peace of mind.

I thought about ordering a single set for just the outside dual and see if it would work.

I know if i bought a set of 2" dually wheel spacers I would have no problem. Hahaha.

So far I have managed to avoid the need for chains, but you guys do bring up a good point, better to have them and never have to use them than need them and not have them.

I am running the stock tire size 235/80R17.

Maybe one set for the outside duals would be a good idea?

Suggestions or comments welcomed.
