    I think Mack offered the 8.3 Cummins for a while in the Granite CV513.

    Rowdey Rebel... All of the links you posted deal with Passenger/ light truck tires. That is alot like comparing apples and oranges. Modern commercial truck tires casings can make 1 million miles with proper care. In our situation, we have a lot of drivers who will never see virgins on the tractor or the trailer due to thier record of wrecked tires and blow outs. On the other hand we also have drivers that get nothing but virgins all the way around. If I was a one man band I would have virgins all around, because I would know the history of care.

    I just read a real good article in a magazine called Heavy Duty Trucking, about different factors that take their toll on tires. The main point of the article was that it is not the age of the tire, but it's overall condition, maintence history, inflation history that decide how long it is going to run. I always seem to get into arguements over recaps. They will run as long as anything else, if they are taken care of properly. The key thing to remeber is Proper Inflation.

    I remember back in first grade, there was a kid in class whose dad drove for a freight outfit. His dad conned a case of Alf folders out of the company that printed them. Everyone in class got one. Pretty cool way back then. Brad

    This is the best news to come down the pike in a long time. If you are from Illinois call the govonor and tell him to sign this bill!! Thanks,Brad

    I guess it is good that we have a uniform speed limit, but I would have a uniform wieght law. The fact that there are state roads that you can not haul 80,000# down is crazy, because we (trucking industry) are paying for them.

    Thanks for the kind words.....I will not be on the road in that truck this year, as I have had to go into dispatch for the season. For the time being it is parked in my shed. Thanks, Brad

    I am 27. I have 3 kids, all boys(4,3,7 months). I couldn't find any "before pics of my truck, but I did have an "after". The other pic is of my 2 oldest, and myself out at Wolcott last summer.

    There is guy in Florida that advertises on Truck Paper, that still gets them. I talked to him about it the other day, and he said that it is getting harder and harder to them. He can only really get Heavy front end Granites, set up for V-Mac III. He told me that Kenworth will work with you more. I then talked to my Mack guy(also handles KW's), and he is looking into it for me.

    Good report! I have been saying that for years. My opinion is that about 90% of your tire failures can be traced back to the driver. Drivers tend to disagree and blame it on "those damn retreads!" Brad

    This is a tractor I tore down and repainted. That is my son

    No aluminum wheels yet, so we dressed up the spokes.
