@stevenewsam6698 I think the 9000XLT would be fine. The 9000XLT gives the option of moving one runway to outer holes to make it wider. I bought the SS-11000-WD just in case I needed to lift a dually, and the cost was just slightly more.

@jrfan592 Thank you for your comment. I've never had any issues with it leaking. Is your leaking from the fitting?

@@mickeyj4228I think it’s leaking from where the hose connects to the fitting at the bottom, if not there then possibly the drain on the bottom. I need a new hose for it either way.

​@jrfan592 maybe try adding a second clamp.

@@mickeyj4228 it had two fitting on it but I figured out the problem, it was the drain plug on the bottom. It was cockeyed af hahaha. I’m gonna make a video showing it in a bit.

@@jrfan592 I'll check out your video.

Thanks for the comment. I wish, lol. That would have been handy when I replaced the 40 ft long power steering hose.

@SolarArrdvark13 thanks for your comment. It comes with 4 plastic drip trays. The jack is a rolling bridge jack so you could slide it back between the rear end and the transmission. The bridge jack tray also has a drain bolt. I hope I answered your question?

Thank you for your comment! The Advantage ss-11000-wd has been perfect. I highly recommend it.

@daypayton123 Thank you for your comment. I like it better than the $900 Pioneer I put in the wife's truck. Still amazed at the cost.

Thank you for your comment. Please circle back and let me know how it works out. It seems muck better than the Briggs 7.25 tgat was on my DR.

Thank you for your comment! A car lift is life changing as you get older. I wish I had bought one 30 years ago.

I'm sorry you don't feel like you got your money's worth. I make videos for friends and family. Send me a link to your video on the subject.

Thank you for your comment! I posted the link in the description, the price has cone up on Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BTD59KCT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

They were used for decades before circuit boards were invented. I believe tire manufacturing has also come a long way. Thank you for your comment. Have a blessed day.

@@mickeyj4228 I owned a tire shop for 4 years, anytime the expensive balancer had faults and wouldn't operate, id pull out the trusty bubble balancer. It never had any electrical faults and it could easily balance drag radials when the electric balance would throw faults.

I just walked out and measured, from the bottom of the pully cover side to side is 101 inches. Outside runway to outside runway is 85 inches. I drive my RAM 2500 on without folding the mirrors in. I you have any other questions or would like to have a call just let me know.

I appreciate it, my dually is a little wider than stock 103 inches side wall to side wall. Having a hard time finding a lift to accommodate, without going commercial

I've had a Ram dually on my lift, but it had stock tires and no wheel spacers. I just took the measurement from outside of cable to outside of the other cable and it is 110.5 inches. This is the measurement taken for my friends 2011 RAM dually as he measured from outside bed fender to outside bed fender which was only 96.5 inches. His tires did not stick out past the fenders. What truck do you have?

Ford f350

Are you confident in your measurements? Im curious as to what makes your F350 so much wider than stock? Think goigle says is 94 inches? My diesel pusher motorhome is the maximum DOT limit of 102 inches.

Thanks for your comment. I've tried it that way and I prefer the leverage to be lower closer to the duckhead. Maybe I built the center pipe too tall?

Thanks for your comment. I spin the lift around sideways towards the back of the RV port. The rear overhang of the motorhome is over the runways, not on them. I have a short video that shows this.

Thank you for the comment. I'm done giving my money to tire shops. Prices have got outrageous.

Thank you for your comment! The vertical tube is 2" electrical conduit with a 2 " receiver welded to it that slides through a piece of hitch tubing. The red duck head is bolted to 1/8 " steel plate that is weld to an old piece of floor jack handle. it slides into a short piece of roll bar tubing that's welded to the hitch tubing. I also replaced the bead breaker tube with the same roll bar tubing.

Thank you! If I did more tires, I would buy a Mayflower tire machine. They are reliable and priced right. With the mods, the Pittsburgh gets the job done.

Uthjfgh😊

Thank you for your comment. I believe I adjusted the locks sometime after this video and one lock may have been 1/4 inch off. Just went and listened to the video again, they are very close. I didn't hear a "click, clack". Definitely not far enough out to be a safety issue. I make it a habit to go well past the lock hole before lowering onto the locks. Paying close attention to how the lift settles onto the locks is also a sign you may need to adjust them.

Thank you for your comment. The most time-consuming part was deciding on how to do it. Drilling the hole near the black tank was also a long measure twice and think about it moment :)

I was originally going to purchase the 9000 XLT, but went with 11000 as it was about $600 more at the time. I do like the auto flappers on the 9000XLT. Both are great lifts.

@@mickeyj4228 Mine "pre dates" the auto flappers... 50/50->90, 50 /50 chance 90% chose in error, MAYBE I should have opted for the 11,000.. In reality can't complain.. could be a decent excuse to get a 2nd lift 🤣

Not sure, but I think the tire changer is made in China.

Thanks for your comment. No need to drill any holes. I just dropped the pin in the existing hole and tightened it down. I did use a centering cone. They are RAM 20 inch 8 lugs wheels.

Thanks for your comment! I did a couple sets of trailer tires with it mounted to the pallet. It worked OK. Before I did the 33" truck tires om my RAM I bolted it to the concrete using 2" drop in anchors. This is much better, and quicker not having the pallet moving around.

Thanks for your comment. I've used POR 15 for years. "POR-15 works because it chemically bonds to rusted metal and forms a rock- hard, non-porous coating that won't crack, chip, or peel. It keeps moisture away from metal with a coating that is strengthened by continued exposure to moisture". They have much more detail on their website. por15.com/pages/faqs

Thank you for your reply. No. I'm not sure if Harbor freight still offers a motorcycle tire changer. They are available on Amazon. www.amazon.com/ABN-Tire-Change-Stand-Tires/dp/B09CZCPXX7/ref=sr_1_10?crid=LGYDW8ZD8MD8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KlBcxgbJMc_u_cDKDfPiGeTQTZV0lfEqy0YYr_74n82IUkxmlcVZC5sBK0RHjby7lmAUiGk7nSYm-bSlanOrD3HwOzDEsJBDSh5dSSdLIeu7aU7gUTFy3_TtnEdA9UTT7R2gay-jZYTILBOOpLlEvbHoL9WJbAZq0hRmWKShB_--Qag9nxM4yKla97BIQ6r-LeVEStUs4Bh_KhOsSzXDAnefTv_8kSouDW86kNX-EGN4gCCylNCPsw8o-TV2bK7rQXqLtsmteVk72T0O7-HGBfYGonSYuyDnLpavGe8fGmg.6EPHp_Sj-JrfijktkAR9PIhSBxgXjKAgIsH8Lsfx8uE&dib_tag=se&keywords=motorcycle+tire+changer&qid=1709412354&sprefix=motocycle+tire+changer%2Caps%2C100&sr=8-10

@@mickeyj4228 okay so theres no adaptor or way for this one to do both car and motorcycle tires then ,thanks

​@vicpnut1 not to my knowledge.

I'm sorry you don't think you got your money's worth. Please send me a link to your video.

It's been great so far.

Thank you for your comment! I did 3/8 X 2 inch drop-in anchors. It tightened down great. I would do 2 1/2 inch if I were to do it again. Don't forget the anchor set tool.

@@mickeyj4228 Thanks for the speedy reply. I also ordered a duck head adapter a guy makes and sells on eBay for use with this tire changer. I have several tires I need to change in the near future, really excited to see how it's going to work. Shouldn't take long to pay it all off with not only the amount I'm saving on mounting and balancing at $22 a tire but saving money on the tires too not buying he from a tire shop.

Thanks for the tip

Thanks for the comment. It's 24X50.

Great. I have run them in my motorhome for years. I have a slight vibration between 75 and 80 that also existed with previous tires that were road force balanced tires. The beads did not fix this. I think I have a rim wheel that is not true.

If you have any questions about the lift, the motorhome or anything else, feel free to ask. Otherwise, troll on. Maybe you'll get your monies worth somewhere else.

@@mickeyj4228what does the title of video read? 🤡

My RAM is a 2018 2500 4X4 with the Cummins diesel. Total weight with me in it is 8437 pounds. I have lifted the front with the air jack several times with no issue. I did lift it in another video. I'm not sure if I filmed the lifting part as it's kind of a 2-hand operation lowering it onto the locks. czcams.com/video/ZD9dkhh5jjQ/video.html

I'm sorry you don't feel like you got your monies worth. I obviously didn't make this video for you. God Bless!

Sheesh, I thought I was going to actually see the thing in action in a 16 minute video. Good thing I skipped ahead so my time was entirely wasted.

I made this for family and friends. I'm not paid by you or youtube. Do you really need that much handholding with such a simplistic process? You should keep giving the tire shops your money.

@@mickeyj4228 Sorry to break it to you, but yours is not private video available to only friends and family. It’s public. Let me give you some great advice for the next time you want to make a video for your friends, text it to them. Additionally, why did you make the video for friends and family-to hear you drone on for 16 minutes without much substance with regard to how the tool works? And your logic about me preferring a tire shop over doing the work on my own doesn’t make much sense given that I clicked on a video about a DIY TIRE CHANGER. If I were interested in getting the work done at a tire shop, I would be over on Michelin’s or Firestone’s CZcams page. Or, I’d, like, you know, just go to the tire shop. But I came here, to watch a video about a tire changer that I am interested in, and, unlike other pages who understand that people want to see how things work, you decided to offer a bunch of talking, to me, other CZcamsrs, and, oh yea, your friends and family who are none the wiser because of this video. Great job at failing!

@@mickeyj4228 I guess your friends and family, whom you allegedly made this video for, is as dumb as I am, and needed you to talk them through 16 minutes of nothing.

Thank you for your comment! I have bought some but haven't used it yet. Happy New Year!

I'm sorry you feel you didn't get your monies worth.

Thank you for your comment. Have a great day!

Thank you for your comment. I'm glad I could help. Be sure to check out @advantage_lifts youtube channel for their installation video play list. It's an easy assembly process. I had the videos memorized while waiting on my lift. czcams.com/play/PLrdE9a3d68IIb4zOITpFq-YfZisAEySBe.html&si=F4gR5djhJL5coxtF

First, Merry Christmas! It is most likely the ignition switch and like everything it appears it's available on Amazon. I guess it could be one of the safety sensors. These can normally be bypassed with a jumper wire. www.amazon.com/CUB-CADET-925-04228-Position-Ignition/dp/B091D7NT36

@mickeyj4228 Thank you for the information, Sir!! Will dig into it this weekend! And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.

@@JM-hx6qp please let me know the solution.

Thank you for your comment. God bless. Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry you didn't get your monies worth. God bless and Merry Christmas!

Yeah was thinking he dragged it out some ,but also iam shopping and dont know what i dont know about this ….meaning ,i assume these are important issues/areas of concern .so a minute extra of deliberate explanation in a 7 min video is fine imo

Yes, it also centers the wheel, so the duck head stays alligned as you rotate it, removing and mounting the tire.

@@mickeyj4228 Also you built the kit yourself or bought it?

@AndreychukAndrey I built it myself. The duck head was $20.00 on Amazon. Bought the centering cone on Amazon as well. The rest was just some scrap I had in my garage.

The video title "with Duck Head Mod" Unless you modify this tire changer with the "jig" as you call it you will destroy your wheels. The "duck head" side on the original handle is just junk.

Yes Sir, it does.
