Hauled 2000lbs of steel today with the M1028

[Drock]

It squatted 4-3/4" and got about 17 MPG . And It jump started ah semi truck that was in my way. So we had ah busy day today.

I bet it rode like a Cadillac too!

 

[Drock]

Oh yeah it did! This past week I installed new Rancho shocks. Found the old stockers were mounted upside down. Then had the tires balanced, they had never bin balanced before. Found ah hand full of rubber saw dust in one of them. So yeah this week it went from ah skate board to ah Cadillac!

I love it

Loaded it to capacity...loved it

Great fuel economy

Oh yeah...had to rescue a heavy hauler that needed a jump

Just another day in a Cuck's life

Yeah I should of bought one of these years ago. I've owned this truck for 3 months now and I'll have to say it's one of the most useful vehicles I've ever owned. Every time I park it draws ah crowd and I end up answering questions for about five minutes. Also I'll have to admit it was pretty satisfying to watch ah warehouse full of guys jaws drop when it jump started the semi truck

Hopefully you move that one to the spare . Rubber saw dust is usually a good sign the tire is one it's way out.

Well as my tire guy explained it ,it's ah "bag of shot". He said that some semi trucks use little bags of either rubber or small ball bearings to balance there tires. The idea being that once the truck gets up to speed the lose material will spread out and balance it's self out . He also went on to say that the military usually doesn't bother balancing there tires on base only driven trucks. I'd never heard of this myself but it sounded feasible.

Drock, you are talking about a product called "EQUAL". We used it in semi
tires. It seemed to work, everyone liked it.
