I don't want to get too fancy yet. The first battle here was convincing them that I didn't work for the DOT when I told them I was out of hours the first few dozen times.
They were 'spoiled' by the dirty driver we had hired first. The shock of being legal and what is needed to be able to pass inspections has been tough, but I'm slowly reforming their policy in the trucking area.Lepton1, tucker and passingthru69 Thank this. -
And maybe the starter fluid trick?
-
Well now I'm just curious. What the heck is this about?
-
Its only for the brave. If tire is off the bead spray a LITTLE SHORT BURST in tire and use long lighter to light it. Reset bead. Dont do it untill taught. Dont want to see anyone get hurt. Its fun to scare my wife with.

And a little on sidewall to use as a wick

I pull em out next to shops. One time I did and it leaked, 10 min later, it stopped leaking.

Plug kit if it will work for sure. T/A ruined one of my tires that I thought I'd get taken care of when I had a day. Plug & get fixed at a shop you trust, or have the warm & fuzzy about. Mine the nail was gone, so it would be down in the 80s by the end of the day, airing it every morning.
