    Mechanical Adding air ride

    I doubt the air bags would require a high volume of air, that small compressor should be fine. I wish my truck was here to measure the frame rails to see if that kit will fit. I left the truck in Ohio and headed south, I'm in between carriers right now so I figured I would go where it's warm.....

    Mechanical Adding air ride

    I would think they are pretty close, the hinos use the same axles that are on the freightliners. Do you know what ratio it is? I have to figure out what mine is but if i could reduce the rpms at highway speed that would solve 2 issues at once.

    Mechanical Adding air ride

    Good point about the driveshaft, didn't think about that. Yes it's for the freight, although I think what's in the front of the truck (me) usually gets rattled more than what's in the box. There are certain customers that will specify an air ride truck.

    You know it's funny I hear more middle and lower class people complain about the amount of taxes the rich pay than the rich complain about it themselves, wonder why that is?????? Oh that's right, even after taxes the super rich make more in one day, and in some cases more in one hour than a...

    If you drive a big rig and you think you sit too much, driving a straight truck will cause you to sit 2 to 3 times more.

    LOGGING SPLIT BREAKS

    Every now and then I will use the split break provision, but I use the big road app on my tablet and let it figure it out for me. I don't know if using it will allow you to run more miles, but there are certain times it comes in handy to make that morning delivery that normally would not be able...
