A dry van usually has the connections on the front-left. That means, on a right turn, you’ve got ~8’ of lines across the front of the trailer and only ~4’ extra to the truck. That’s a pretty slim amount left and your hanger springs are going to be stretched to the max, as well.

In my truck day was about 6/8 leads of like extension cord grade. What I am referring to above is for an electric hi lift forklift using 20' wound on a reel to control the various functions. Have bought it locally in Tupelo from NESCO or Stewart C. Irby with up to 16 internal leads.4wayflashers Thanks this. -

At 288 each, I just bring my truck in get it hooked up to the machine each year and get the thing refilled the way it's supposed to be refilled for a about $150 I do my own leak down tests and solder anything that might need to be soldered before hand. Helps that I run up north and most days don't run the ac just have little side window open to let air in though, if I was down in the heat I might change my tune
4wayflashers Thanks this. -
288 fills your truck up 7x.
7x150=750
288 will fill me car up 30x.
9.60 each time.
AND. I don't have to drive to a shop and wait.Last edited: May 11, 2024

Cars were required to start using 1234 7.5 years ago.
I have a new bottle already. But don't know how much longer I want it as it gets used less each year.
12 got banned 5 years after 134 rolled out.
