    I havent gotton above 6mpg in 2 weeks. The downside of running mountains at 80k gross... have been running 86k in montana since it is legal with the bridge law and my spread axle as long as axles are legal... which is quite difficult to accomplish i have found

    So I stop at the TA to get an air leak fixed with the auto inflator on the trailer.

    I hate this TA too. San Antonio. Wait 4 hours.

    Dude is like," It's the strator tube in the axle. They're $8. We don't stock them. I can't begin to tell you how many guys come in here with those broken. But we don't carry them."

    The OM is like, " I don't understand why you hate this TA."

    If it is on the trailer, you don’t have to pay the repair bill, correct.

    Are the auto inflate systems worth it ? Or does it just cause more headaches? And more crap that can break? I have never had a truck or trailer with one before but have been thinking about getting some for the truck with my new tires

    Did get to visit Australia a few days. Didn’t get to see much. But had a good time anyway. Never did make it to New Zealand, wanted to, a timing thing. Did get to spend a few days each roaming Japan, Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong.
