    have had more lug nut covers fall off or fly off right after tire jobs. i started walking around and tapping with rubber hammer after having some tire work.

    An option when forced to launch your drone in a dusty lot, place it on the hood of the truck, should prevent dust rising and should easily give you enough surface area for the initial lift off. Really excited to see you got one! Best of luck with your videos in the future

    Just checked in Far North Queensland Australia our diesel price is approximately $5.69 gal USD. We are going down a bit.

    Fuel prices are crazy. Washington State 6.00 a gallon. Idaho 5.00 a gallon diesel. All I can say is be grateful you're seeing lower.

    It's really nice you support the family businesses. They really took the pandemic hit. A lot of big companies(including oil)are charging more just because they can. My business has taken a hit too. It's hard to have to pass it on to the customers just to break even. Thanks for another awesome ride. Safe travels, and God bless.

    Kurt, one of the first things I did when we bought our Renegade motorhome was to pull all those lugnut covers and throw them in a box in the garage. About a month later I had a tire shop pull the rear tires so I could take the center covers off that cover up the axle ends.

    With winter coming, have you thought about installing a diesel fueled bunk heater? All of us Canuck drivers have them and they work great. For about 1 gallon of fuel, they'll roast you out of the sleeper for 10 hrs. A lot cheaper than idling the truck.
    Webasto or Espar cost less than $1500.

    Been hauling gas for 20 years. By law we can not put water in the tanks and stores can not put water in there tanks. We have to show when we make a delivery that there is no water in the tanks when we start amd stop. Idk where people get thats there is water in the tanks. I wish people would quit spread stuff like that coz it makes us gas haulers look bad and people think we r the ones to put water in the tanks. Its thousands of dollars fine if we get caught. I put fuel in for 3.89 at the coffee cup in vermillion today. Love the videos

    O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Fuel around Ohio is around 4:30-4:65. I don’t always relate lower fuel prices to watered down diesel. LOL. I’ve gotten watered fuel from Speedway before. From what I’ve seen on tires lately, yeah, they’re much higher $$$. That’s a shame. I guess because of the trucker shortage they have to jack prices up. It’s good that you got your lug nut cover back. Did you go around the front end & double check them after your tires were replaced? Hope you have a couple extras at home. That trailer spacing was not good at all! I would’ve done the same thing…air it up, pull out & then raise the Dollie’s. They must’ve been in a rush when they dropped the trailer off. Love those shiny hinges?! That’s good for a 2018 model! I’ve been working on my S1900 IH brake problems, so I’ve been a bit behind. Trying to get it rolling again. Much to do yet. Blessings my friend & I hope you have a safe trip back home. 🥰🤩✌️

  • @wolf2179
    @wolf2179 Год назад

    Tires don't need to be rotated or it shouldn't be necessary to do this. You only rotate tires because you have some other issue that you are not going to deal with so rotating the tires around makes them last longer to compensate for said issues. If I had to guess either you have an alignment issue, specifically with the camber. Or the other issue if it isn't alignment is you have bushings worn out and the third is tire pressure being too low. I am going to go with low tire pressure due to the split on the sidewall as that is from low tire pressure and with the tire being too low, the edge of the rim caused that split from the weight and due to the tire not having enough air allowed that portion of the sidewall to meet with the rim edge as you are driving and eventually you will get a split along that area. The type of tire you had the ideal psi for it is 110 psi. I am a tire tech for a fleet. Also your tire was not that old, typically steers won't be super old like drives can be and this is mostly thanks to the DOT rules that steers can't be retreads or recaps as they are referred so the only way you could get an old steer is if it was still good and was just sitting around and you wanted a used steer put on instead of a new one, but at most you are looking at a couple years old, where as drives can be old as 10 or so years as they are allowed to be retreaded as long as it is still in good condition to be retreaded.

    When ever you replace the steering tires, then it is time to also replace the front shocks. Not many people do the shocks and then the tire wear starts again. Is Alice coming to Iowa to haul for Tyson like you do? just wondering.....2 things on fuel prices. One is the state tax rate where you are, and the second thing is if the fuel is old, then it becomes a dark brown color. To find the raw cost of fuel, take the discounted pump price minus the state tax rate. That is the raw cost of fuel. You pay the tax rate when you burn the fuel, not when you buy it. The low price of fuel in Oklahoma increases when you burn it in Kansas. Find the raw cost of fuel and purchase accordingly. Does Iowa have a Motor Carrier Direct Pay Tax? That is where you take the percentage of miles driven in Iowa, say 25% and you purchase supplies etc tax free, and then only pay 25% of the state tax in a quarterly return instead of 100% at the time of purchase.
