I try to rotate when there is a 2/32 difference between right and left tread depths. When I do rotate I have the tires flipped on the wheels so they are running the same direction as they were originally. Since we run Michelin and they are a directional rotation tire. I also have them balanced...

Bubble head, thanks for watching. Since it is a self locking nut on a 3/4" bolt, I left the torque setting on max. Just make sure they are tight. I'm sure there is a torque specification for a fastener like this but I did not look it up and I believe as long as you get it tight you won't have a...

Team Witch-n-Wolf I believe finding a used expediter with low mileage is going to be an issue. For the most part the only trucks for sale with low miles are either repo's or trucks with extraordinary problems, from what I've seen. However you seem to be on the right track with an automatic...

Zorry, here's my take on question 1. Kevin Rutherford has said for years if you get the same mileage at 65 as 55 theres something wrong with the engine or charge air cooler. I dont always agree with that if you have to drop a gear and raise RPM you will not do better, physics don't lie, it takes...

I have a short list of some of the items I will have for sale, 1 set of tire chains for 22.5 tires new in bag, universal windshield curtains used, some exercise equipment used (not near enough), L.E.D. Lights and brackets some new some used, a rocket grill used, 2 collapsible duffel style shower...

I use Wicked polish it seems to work the best for me, easy on easy off. All the rear boxes were moved from our other truck but the big side box had to be smaller so I got a new one. They still have to be maintained because they are polished aluminum, at least once a month I get out and rub. More...

All the E-trac was factory installed except the third row from the bottom. I used the same type screws that were in the other rows. I bought the trac at a Utility trailer dealer who recommended the rivets, the rivet gun was $450.00, didn't want to spend the money for one project. We have a FRP...

Our experience has been better than Highway Stars, we have 5959 hours on our RigMaster after 6 years. The replaced parts beyond normal service items ( belts, filters ) include, 2 engine speed sensors 1 condensor fan (my fault) 1 circuit board (my fault) 1 heater control unit 1 muffler...

We have Sturdy Built boxes and have been very happy with them. Ours have been on the truck 5 1/2 years with no leaks. The best place to get them is at the Louisville truck show, good discounts there. We got and had them installed in St Charles Mo at Craftsman Industries, they are on 370 at exit...

CumaLongWay, thanks for the offer but we will be switching to the OPS-1 Ecopure system with the new truck, and we have enough supplies to get us through our life with our current truck. The guys at OPS-1 are very accommodating and if you gave them a call they may buy your systems and filters...

Years ago when I managed the maintenance for a small fleet, I asked our oil distributor/supplier about additives and even though he sold them he told me that if I felt the need to add stuff to the oil to "make it better" I was buying the wrong oil. Do your research use the best oil for your...

It has been four years but I think it 2 tenths consistently. The boxes paid for themselves in fuel savings for sure.

The heat issue is from the brakes and diff.. Not allowing the heat from the engine to escape until it gets past the back of the truck seems to worry them, overheating the diff. and the brakes, this may not be an issue with disc brakes though or maybe if the wheel covers were vented to allow air...

Running dual Michelins I would conceder the ZXA3 on the steers and on the drive axle. They have a low rolling resistance so they will help with fuel milage. If you would like to go with a lug type tire the XDA energy is a good choice but may be hard to find, if you have time have your local...
