    My next Trailer will definitely have it. I asked about it at the parts house. Some of the hubcaps are expensive. More info is needed before I choose a system. But I like the idea. Save one tire blowout, or ran flat, plus time lost. The whole idea just amazes Me. Who’d a thunk it?

    So over night the APU decides to get issues. Something to do with the engine. Let the fun begin.

    Yeah, well those days are over, All work and no play, yada yada.
    I made it 112 miles from destination, got a call from broker, “They’re waiting on you, when you can be there?”
    Me
    “Tomorrow morning, I called and they said hours of receiving are 0800-1700, it’d be 2000 before I could’ve made it, he said he’d see me tomorrow, so we’ve made our plans ahead of time.”

    can you believe the broker hung up?
    It’s getting hard to find good brokers these days...:rolleyes:

    We didn't get anything. And we keep our equipment so it passes inspection.

    What's wrong with this picture?

    I had those Crossfires on a truck I owned and it's just like you said. Still, even though they didn't work like they were supposed to, I could gauge, and fill if needed, both tires on a set at the same time. Friend had those "Cat Eye" type and those seem to last longer.
    But neither are as good as the new technology that send the pressure readings to the cab..

    We got our $2800 yesterday too. St Patricks day green.

    Well, the tain in Knoxville seems to have stopped, for the time being.

    Looks like it could start again at any time.

    This is probably a good time to make a dash for the coffee.

    I rhinoceros slept, and also bashed the snooze button a coupla three or four times.

    I can't shrug off a 14hr day with a 10 hour break anymore.

    Gettin' old sucks........
