I had an S280 shelter that I coated the roof with an RV type sealer it was black and paintable and the prep was normal just have the surface veryclean give it a light sanding with 220 and coat, I used it for 3 years with not a leak then I sold it but would not be surprised if its still doing good!

The first place I would call would be my local CAT dealer or an Allison Dealer depending on where your problem is. Warning, its going to be expensive!

You bought a relatively big truck, and sounds like you added another 10K pounds to it I am not sure what you were expecting? The blow out, it happens but your only not prepared once! I am not sure what you mean by making the truck more road worthy? Are you talking comfort? Drivability...
