Just a note on the front axle weight, it is becoming more common on the newer fleet trucks to have a 14k or better front axle. In the drive for fuel efficiency, they are trying to close the gap between the cab and trailer, and can’t do that and only have 12k on the front. So it’s worth looking into what your truck has for a front axle rating. -
I think most of us get those kinds of calls from doctor's offices. I still don't answer and they have always just left a message. Haven't missed anything yet! -

In years past, my wife and were pretty good about letting unknown calls go to voicemail. In the past year or so though, with all our recent medical issues, we're regularly receiving calls from doctors offices where the calling number is seldom the same due to multiple outbound lines and cell phone use. The best we can do until things settle down is to keep adding new numbers to our contact lists and quickly hanging up on the scammers/spammers. -
Not actually on the truck, but similar size and number of tires. I tried to upload a photo but the link must be broken. It just sits and spins. Anyone have an old Porter Cable pancake compressor? I've had mine since I lived in South Florida many years ago. Just used it to air up the tires on my trailer after putting the "Cross Fires" back on last month. The indicator said 10lbs low so I set the output to 110psi and clicked on the locking "Chuck" after allowing the tank to fill to 120psi. It only takes a few seconds for the compressor to kick back in and a few minutes (but less than I expected) for the compressor to shut off again. Now have the appropriate color in the viewer on all 4 sets of duals. Will hit the truck tires tomorrow after allowing the compressor to rest for a day. All in all it took less than an hour. It would take the guys at the "Tire Shop" over 1/2 hour to do them it seemed so I will continue to use the little Porter Cable for this. I won't try to set a bead with it or do a full inflation from flat. Rod -
We were full time in a motorhome with the F53/V10 for 12 years and owned it for 14 years. When we sold it the mileage was 88k and the buyer sent an email to update us after he had it for 3 more years and at 101k miles and he was still happy with it. But 38k in 17 years is very low so I'd suspect that it has sat unused for an extended period. It very likely still has the original tires so they probably need to be replaced. It might be a real prize but unless you are a motorhome expert, you should have it professionally inspected before you put any money down.
