    I ran 100 in mine. Not sure what the new company wants them at.

    Whatever the sidewall of the tire calls for, which is usually 110 psi for me

    Thanks for the heads up on diesel prices.

    Tri State is still big up here in Greeley. I still remember the show trucks they built back in the 80's when they were partnered up with the Monforts.

    Sugar beets are the big thing around here, and we use belt trailers or side dumps.
    Haul wheat also, and that's what brought me to your thread, but wheat isn't as big out here as beets and onions.

    Thanks again for your great thread.
     
    HwyPilot and Big John Thank this.

    I run 100 in the duals, 110 in the steers.

    Dairyman, I've been in Kentucky a lot the last couple months, but the farthest east I've been was running I-65 and I-71 from Nashville to Akron, and I didn't have any time to spare on that load. Don't worry, I'll collect on that offer sooner or later....:biggrin_255:

    Does anyone know what shocks or have a part number for my 03' Timpte. I tried to get a number off of them but they have been painted over then they have been road sandblasted. The parts store needs a number and I was wanting to have them before I remove the old ones this weekend. Thought I would ask to see if anyone knows before calling Timpte in the morning. It looks like the shocks have been on the truck and trailer for a long, long time and have some leaking so I am going to replace everyone of them.

    I could probably check my trailer shocks in the morning. I replaced mine some time back but can't remember how much they were from Timpte. I don't think they were too expensive but I could be wrong.

    It's $4.15 in Pratt, KS. I don't know how anybody justifies buying fuel there, but there's always some idiot fueling there when I roll through.
