Hi guys, Just to answer a few questions/statements made on here after my post.
Yes, 110 ft/pounds torque.
But by checking proper torque, you would not know that they were over tightened. The wrench reader show's 110 and you stop applying pressure. It only works when under torque...
I have a tire pressure monitoring system that was installed. Tire pressure on both blown tires was where they were supposed to be, 80psi cold.
The tire on the same side of the rig that left the unit wasn't one of the tires that blew.
My first blow out was the same tire that came off the rig. Second tire was on a different axle.
Crossroads contacted me with a higher level employee after a strongly worded email I sent. They appear to be stepping up to the plate in repair. I don't want to say anymore until they follow through with their plan. When it's complete I will come back and let you know.
Any other questions?
