Tulsa to Colorada Springs disaster in the panhandle
Some times I just need to post what can go wrong will...
Tulsa to Colorado Springs 12 hours of driving. every fuel stop plotted and tires aired to max 80 psi in the truck and trailer Goodyears aired to 62 psi. bearing changed out this year and everything checked and ready to roll...but fate had another plan.
left at 4:30 am and made it to woodward and check engine lite came on. stopped at auto zone and map sensor or mass air flow sensor was the culprit. no big deal drive on and clean it when I get home...understand I drive a 2007 3/4 ton Silverado with 4:10 gears and only 64,000 miles. made it to the panhandle of Oklahoma and BOOM right rear truck tire tread came off, tire fine, no tread. destroyed right rear quarter paned and front of camper. if you don't know panhandle is in the middle of NOWHERE. NOTHING. finally got goodsam from Boise City to respond and got tire off and spare on. drove to Boise city and got new Yokahama E load on truck ( they had two tire I could buy) and headed off, made it to Puebleo Colorad and BOOM, left rear tire exploded and destroyed left rear panel, folded like paper and tread completely off in one strip and tire as before still had iar. put on spare in bed of truck and made it to Colorado spring at Cheyenne Mountain Statepark to lick my wounds. next day bought a new set of tires even though my tire were made in 26th month of 2010.
repairs when I got home,
6400 to truck
1128 in new tires
3196 to front of camper
319 for rear brakes destroyed
? leaking left rear axle seal they have not quoted yet
I have hauled camper to orlando to ohio to grand canyon, tires are the culprit BFGoodrich... filed claim with them and insurance and insurance said BF would laugh at me. anything over two years and im screwed. insurance will cover but was TOLD that never never fill tires to max PSI ever by both tire dealer in Boise City and Colorada, then why in the hell do they tell you max psi cold. had no water in camper and not loaded. tires read over 90 psi when good sam checked.
Broke in Tulsa
