Centramatics are effective as well.feldsforever Thanks this. -
I run super singles, always have. I put the bags in, not spin balance. Right now I have two with bags and two without, I can tell the difference. Those little bags do wonders, and can rebalance a tire as it wears, unlike weights. In fact, it rebalances every time you stop.

Balance all tires and I run Centramatics on all axles including trailers. Balance trailer tires as well. Shocks on all 5 axles as well as cab shocks yearly. truck and trailers aligned yearly.

60k on oil change, I go 30k, I change power steering fluid snd filter every other oil change. Some will argue it’s wasteful.
But clean oil doesn’t get full of contaminates and abrasive. Tearing up seals and such. I change the oil in my front hubs yearly. Usually never have front seals leak. Change my coolant every 300k, 3 box service every 300k. Rarely have seals leak. I change all brake chambers every 300k as well. Keeps equipment happy and Billy bobs bend ya over and give ya ####in road service away
I spend more in maintenance but my equipment is very rarely down for unscheduled maintenance. In the end it’s all what works for the owner. Little off topic.God prefers Diesels, RStewart, Brettj3876 and 2 others Thank this. -
I don't balance drives (only steers) but like Midwest Trucker I do shocks and alignment with every tire change no matter which axle.
