Probably has been discussed but do I inflate the pressure on my truck according to what the tires say or what the truck info sticker says on the door jam?
My truck says 35 in front and 41 in rear....tires say 51. Thanks.

Oh YEZZzzzzz
We done bin thar B4.
To the pressure on the door pillar, unless it has been superseded, e.g. rollover exploders changed from about 26 to 30+ something IIRC.
The number on the sidewall is a MAXIMUM pressure for that tire's MAXIMUM load, the number on the door pillar SHOULD represent the truck's use (application) of that tire size. It probably represents the pressure for the tire's load at the truck's maximum load - but read your driver's manual.
The RIGHT way to do it is to weigh your truck axle by axle and use a pressure/load chart for that tire size.
