My Tru Center is at Blue Ox for repairs and tied up in their redesign/recall. I was concerned how the rig would handle on our current trip, especially with gusty winds forecast as we left Virginia headed to SC.

Well, I was very pleased. I believe the G670's really made a difference, especially with some pressure tweaking. While I did experience some movement during strong gusts, it was minimal. Also found little rut tracking on uneven pavement.

I guess the Tru Center may provide some protection in the case of a blow out. However, as good as the rig is handling now, I'm not sure I would spend the money again. It will be interesting to see if the new design makes enough difference to notice.

I have been considering some type of steering device and have heard many things from the bell crank to safe t plus etc etc. Good to have your input. I think tire pressure and load has a lot to do with it. Loaded the water tank and reduced the air pressure in the front and it drives much better. On a long trip the water weight may make a difference but for the short haul I'll take the ride..Anyone using the 3T's equipment. Hope you are enjoying(enjoyed) MB. Good Miles
