Spose it dun look any worse than wot else is on offer cya

Harry m80 RE It could be some sort of male truck ritual to attract females. Why in the hell would U wanna atract a Volvo female? LOL cya

Brake Fade When useing the brakes alot on a down hill run to hold the speed back heat is generated on the brakes and with the heat the drum grows in diameter and makes the brakes as not effective ....... like out of adjusted brakes Meaning the truck will not pull up..... just like out of adjusted brakes ... when the brakes cool the drum shrinks to original size and the brakes work better. Here on the udder side of the world in Au there were problems with disc brakes cos on corrigated (Washboard to U Lot) roads the brake was not supported enuff n had am aditional support added[/img] cya

Wot Duz it do n where duz it go cya

The advantage of Drum brakes .... it teaches U how to drive If U get brake fade from use n brakes all the time I say change down a gear or 2 n let the engine brake do wot it's ment to do n save the service brakes for wen U gotta stop in a hurray Years ago we Had a Mack 'F' model with the 300 cool power n 6 speed we did half the gear changes compared to a 8V-92T n RR 18 only problem we really needed an extra gear between each cog cos it seemed like U cum down hills in to highr gear n use the brakes or the next lower gear twaz to low cya

UdderDawg gudday m8 thanx for taken the time n effort to share them thar gr8 pix with us all cya

Yep Also if eye'm aloud an also Oil run hubs if U develop a leak of oil U might only have 1 hour (if u're lucky) B 4 the bearings run dry n wheel falls off n puts U in a ditch Grease run hubs if they develop a leak U kno U gunna have to fix it sumtime this week/month Many new Trailers have had fires caused by oil filled trailer hubs leak ..... n catch fire burn n the rig to the ground oil filled hubs will only save U a buket of diesel ayear compared to grease so many R go n back to grease

M80 cut to the chase remove hub fit new seals etc n pack with grease n do away with oil in front hubs While brakes exposed , if not to an ugly mess , lightly wash with petrol to remove oil, do not submerge brakes in petrol then use a blow torch lightly wipe the flame over the linings to remove all oil then reassemble = Dun deal cya
