<p>[QUOTE="dave26027, post: 6740316, member: 33137"]Hi Snowman- sorry to wait so long to get back to you, I don't visit TTR as often as I used to.</p><p>Shocks are doing well, only problem so far is some crumbled rubber bushings. Am waiting for a response from RK about the problem. The lower bushings on the lead drive axle are coming apart, seems like a minor problem. I just put a new set of drive tires on at 317,000 miles. The old drives still had enough tread on them to use as trailer tires for a few months. Steers are lasting about 180,000 miles a set.</p><p>I think a set of RK's would be a great upgrade for a W900. I'm well satisfied with this product, I would encourage you to consider buying a set.</p><p>Sounds like you're keeping your tractor for a long time, some other products I have tried with success are "Microlon" and the Fuel Preporator. Microlon is a nanoparticle engine treatment that i used on a Western Star with a DD 4 Detroit 500 hp. It needed a head gasket at 750,000 miles. Looking at the cam bearings, i could see where it coated the metal surfaces. The turbo showed more boost and got slightly better mileage after using it. It's a one time engine treatment, no need to ever treat it twice.</p><p>The Fuel Preporator is now called the "F.A.S.S.". It works, it does everything it claims to do. </p><p>Anyway, you should enjoy a new set of Roadkings. I think you'll be pleased with it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
