Ok, this is probably a dumb question but I'm going to ask it. How do I get my spare tire off if i need it? On the rear bumper there is a place to unlock what appears to be the spare tire. Is there a special key for this?

no, it is the same key you use for your ignition. all what you have to do is turn the lock and pull it out then stick your lug nut wrench in the whole and turn it. the wheel should start coming down. i never took mine out but thats how you do it. if you're spare's been there and never use it might be a little stuck so do your thing.

same here. trust me nothing is more annoying that changing a tire on our trucks. it takes about 45 mins.
