i replaced two cheap tires today with a couple goodyears. the tech said all the tires had 65 lbs of air. the po had 80 in all tires. i immediately noticed a much smoother less hoppy ride. when i called gy the fella there said yes the ride improves but a heavy load may overload the tires at 65...

talked to a fella today in an m2 business class truck with the 280 hp mb engine. six speed and a six wheeler. he said he thought it got around 20 mpg. he said after 500 miles the needle hardly moves thru the first quarter tank. he said it was more of a city truck than a highway hauler. no guts...

chevy cut away with about a 12' box but behind the cab was a 3-4' long sleeper that was as tall as the cab. does anyone who makes that? a few miles up the road was a red d unit with a dark windo in the side of the box. yes the box not the sleeper. cab and sleeper was red and the box was...

i thought i would ask the trucking community this question because it has come up on the tdi(vw diesel) car forum concerning diesels. with ulsd the law of the land and many older diesels not set up for it are you using an additive like stanadyne or power service? how long have you used it prior...
