    What about TRP drums you can get from the Kenworth dealer, are they any good? They are made in China but that doesn't necessarily mean they are crap. They are certainly cheap compared to quality brands. I'm just wondering what they are like.

    Im not sure who makes those drums maybe WEBB?They now have a value line made in CHINA.They will all work fine but have a different metal used in mfg that affects life.I do believe you get what you pay for but you also get what you can afford.Thats what brought all of these "value" brands to market.Only 10 percent of my customers want the top shelf parts.Everyone else wants whats cheapest!!As far as the TRP goes,I have used them but not on anything that does long haul so I havent had enough time to evaluate.
