    Pete,... He has side boards on. We ran vents open, hard at night, sometime would wet them down...
    You think his weather up there may be different?

    I think during this time of year that side boards would be required by PETA.

    What year would be the best cutoff to get? Sitting at 245 right now on air trac and want to go to 320 area because I have a plan for a big custom sleeper some day.

    That's gonna cut into your payload, and you know cow trucks are running heavy with factory sleepers.

    In my opinion.
    -Peterbilt Air Leaf or Air Trac is the most durable but rides a little rough.
    -Peterbilt Flex Air rides the best.
