Bad day at work

This hot mess was drug in to my shop today. Truck is a brand new refurb heading to Fort Sill GL.

Yet another example of why I don't like singled out trucks.

I'm thinking the CTIS had a problem keeping up with the leak.

Runflat?

Wow, that ain't good.

I am not a big fan of that route.

I laughed when he sent me the text.

It works both ways PB.

I've handled a few tractor trailer fires where a tube got sucked into the tire and caught the tire on fire burning the entire load. The trailer was carrying 5000 cases of shoe polish.

I've seen inner duals get wrapped around the axle on tubeless tires requiring hours with a sawzall to remove the remains.

Nothing will replace an observant driver.

Reminds me of an old CB phrase........"Down and on the side".

Agreed Sir! The alert driver is the key in most cases.

However...at least in my experience, we have used bolt cutters, hacksaws, knives and anything else we could find to cut off a bolwn tire on a set of duals and limp on to a truckstop or somewhere to get another tire.

I don't knock anyone who uses singles...it's just not my preference and it normally is much harder to "limp" the truck/trailer to a safe haven.

4 1/2" grinder with a cut off wheel wheel works awesome. Smokes alot and will use up a couple wheels, but has no trouble with the steel cord. Got the idea from cutting 2 wire hydraulic hose on the road with it.

Ps: road truck had a welder so had electric

With an inside dual wrapping around the axle on a deuce I would worry about it ripping off the brake line and losing the brakes. The flat tire would then be small potatoes.

God didn't invent the Sawzall government did!

That is why god invented spare tires.

I think I need to stop by and do a personal inspection... about anything to get me out of class or out of this rhythm for a bit. Look for the M38 running around Fires school tomorrow.

Why was it drug into the shop in the first place? I see a spare on the truck.
