Truck & Road conditions = more repairs

I've noticed our roads being in poor shape has cost me $ in truck maintenance. Alignments esp.
How have others been effected?

Chuck,

I have a 450 7.3 PSD and it is built Ford tough er.. I mean Ford ROUGH! The thing rides like a class 8 tractor with no air ride! Perhaps because it is so stiff it has weathered some really rough roads and not needed any alignment work so far. There are some really bad roads out there and they can't be good for any vehicle.

Let's hope they continue to repair and improve them.

Good luck.

Dennis

I have been saying for sometime that the roads are bad. Thats why we have air pin-box or air hitches. Mor-Ride or Equa-Flex or other products to help with the ride. Things are only going to get worse as the feds and/or states have little or no money to repair the roads. The same with city's. People are driving less so the tax on gas or diesel is going to be less so less money for the road repair. It's a catch 22. And getting worse.
