    Used to make lots of money replacing tires that didn't rotate 'cuz the brake shoes froze to the drums. This doesn't totally eliminate that, the driver still has to look in the mirrors.

    Yup. We had those when I was driving tri-axle dumps. Most of the drivers never even looked at them. One driver even kept taking his off and rotating them to match the others :biggrin_2559:

    Goes with looking in the mirrors and watching the fuel gauge,not trying to get 1500 miles on 200 gallons @7mpg. I don't know what happened,the truck just quit running.

    Do this long enough and you'll see it all. I do like a real good new original excuse. If you can make me laugh about it everything is fine.
