after action report...
well this is weird. the web sites I found say my 6-12 tires should be good for 4.5 gallons of liquid. I pinched the stem with a small vice grip so as not to lose it inside, removed the stem valve letting the air out, jacked the rear diff, and used a hand pump to pump in the walmart "supertech" RV antifreeze which is NOT pure propylene glycol but a mix with alcohol. whatever. it's 8lbs per gallon and cheap (2.50 at walmart).
the little torch was to heat the end of the tube so I could get it over the stem.
after about a gallon and a half, I loosened the fill tube to let more air out when and I got to 3 gallons, it would spit antifreeze out. I could not get each side to take more than 3 gallons with the stem at 12 oclock and weight off the tires.
it's still nice to have about 45lbs more on the rear now... it's something anyway..
So has anyone filled 6-12's and how much gallons went in?
thanks!
