Re: Tire plugs
One thing to remember about plugs. They need to be driven on in order for the vulcanizing adhesive to warm up and seal properly. If you just plug it and use it as a spare it may never seal properly. If you want to use it as a spare then drive on it a awhile first then switch it out. I have plugged 1000's of tires in my life time. They work extremely well when properly install. But a lot of people out there can screw up the simplest things. skeeter540Views0likes0CommentsBox or V-clip Spring Hangers?
I had my two rear spring hanger break off my 20 yr old+ 5th wheel. The springs are sitting on frame now. I plan on replacing all the hangers while I have the axles removed. Shouldn't be that hard. The hardest part will be removing the old hangers but I am up to it. So I have heard of people welding in a plate on the end of the hanger to keep them from flexing as much. Seems like a good idea. In researching it also found out people are adding a piece of metal shaped like a V to the inside of the hanger and welding it to the hanger and the frame. Does anyone have any opinions on whether either of these methods are a good idea or not. skeeter1.6KViews0likes1Comment
