Hi guys,
Well with the new axles under the MS away we go headed to the factory. The tires continued to wear and was throwing rubber from the wear on the outside edge. Mike Chaney at DRV and Chad Olenger looked at the unit and had Lippert come to the shop. First thing out of Lipperts mouth was we were over loaded. So DRV got their scales, that had just been calibrated, and weighed the beast. 7700# per axle. well within specs. Tires were in specs also. So the 3 rd set of axles were installed. After that we had new tires installed. While on the trip from Howe to St. Louis I noticed that the outside edge of the tires are wearing. Not as bad but wearing. Tried to get it in an alignment shop in St. Louis but was not possible. So now we are back in SW Fl. and I will get it up to Tampa Spring & Axle for an alignment.
ALWAYS SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pat
