    Our fuel mileage has tumbled down to the trusty 7.8 mpg because of Opus.

    So...
    What your telling us, it wasn’t pretty, but you got in there..?

    Practice backing may be required in your future, I’d hate to see a Swifty pointing and laughing at a repeat performance.

    Anyone have a trailer air bag blow up? Did it send a jolt thru the truck? I'm at the TA waiting to get one changed out.

    Othe thoughts. Ifta in PA is $.74. 74/7= 10.6 cents a mile a bit steep.

    I had one blow out while at the check in shack at a riceland, everyone went to ducking and hollering.
    I said “Either a tire or airbag.”
    Then the trailer leaned a little to the left, then lowered, so airbag was known, and I told everyone up top they needed to change their ways if a little noise caused them to scream, hold their hands over their heads and duck under tables, they were probably doing something wrong.

    It felt like a liquid surge dies when hauling tank. I just don't know if that's possible. Might have been two separate events.

    Seems like a bottle jack and wrenches and you would be done in less than an hour to replace a blown air bag

    Company trailer. I do like the idea for the tractor in the future. Thanks

    We are also an additional 523 miles closer to Thanksgiving dinner.

    We're probably only 523 steps from Waffle Haus though.
