    Sean, There are quite a few manufacturers that can supply and fit these. Very popular systems indeed when tyre blowouts are common due to heat and weight and incorrect pressures. All controlled automatically using the trucks air system. Sorry, now I have to explain a bit about the “air system”...

    You’re spot on Sean. Even though some vibrations can’t be felt by the driver, they are certainly still there and very destructive. Some of the high displacement, high torque American truck diesels need to have their torsional vibration damper (harmonic balancer) replaced every 12 months or...

    Spot on Sean, even though BEV trucks don’t run a clutch, in Diesel trucks, the clutch on an AMT (even though they don’t have a clutch pedal) really suffer from damper spring failure. This is a 15 inch dual plate ceramic clutch typically fitted to American trucks. American truck engines do...

    Very interesting Sean. I’ve only seen cars do the battery swap thing. But I guess trucks could be done just as easy. Some of the truck batteries are quite easily accessible. Yes, The ex MD of Hino trucks Australia now heads up SEA Electric that convert many popular trucks to electric. They...

    All sounds pretty good Sean. Keep us posted as to how it goes with charging and the costs etc. I’m sure she will enjoy it, I’ve driven a few of my work mates of the same model. Very nice indeed. Great Chinese car made to fantastic standards.

    Great points mate. Europe don’t have the cowboy wanker drivers we have here. One lane only for them and 90km/h. We should have the same thing, but we never will. The Hume idea is great Bryce.

    Gents. Continuing with the theme of trucks and new technology, and following the tech I posted a few days ago of the bus and it’s extendable pantograph charging while dropping and picking up passengers, here is another good idea from another Swedish manufacturer Scania. As all heavy vehicles...

    Leather Care... AutoGlym vs Duragloss

    The downside to the RMW product is it had no smell at all. The products Brian has mentioned also leave a terrific aroma 🥰
