Tire/Wheel Thread

I did make up my mind! Been running W900's and a handful of T800's since 1980 (was a mix of trucks before that).

I find it extremely hard to believe a daycab Vulva would do better than 7mpg and 7.5 mpg pulling the same 43' 80" high side hopper loaded to 80k.

Since you get what I've been saying, please comment on the pics I posted earlier. (I'll post them again just in case you forgot) What fuel mileage improvement would any of those guys see (myself included) by selling out and buying aero trucks? I'll be waiting.................






I can post more if you like.

 

OO!! OO!! Please Do

 

Again......glazed right over the question. Imagine that!

 

That's my point, some people understand that, and others do not (obviously). The idea that EVERYONE would benefit from an aero truck, or the notion that all classic styled trucks are horrible on fuel is laughable. I'm just trying to get Mr.PlumbCrazy to admit he's wrong. He's been reading too many magazine articles and listening to the CB radio too much.
Thanks, the bottom truck isn't ours I just used it as an example of a load that would see zero benefit from a bubble truck.

I like to make as much money as everyone else. If the benefits of an aero truck would make any difference doing what we do I would own them. But we tried it with a T600 and it's like putting a fat girl in lingerie, not as good as advertised.

 

Got more info out of this thread before it became a "MINE IS BIGGER THAN YOUR'S" contest.

 

At least you know now who has the biggest.....ego.

Oh here is a new smiley I learned.
