| I think I've seen some of the T/S running specials in the neighborhood of $200 per axle installed...but don't quote me on that. |

| I don't know how much they cost, but i have them (on the truck when I bought it). I got 200K out of my steers, and I had 40K miles EASILY left on them. They pay for themselves, no doubt. |

| It's been a long time since I had my Centramatics installed, but if I remember correctly, I think it was in the neighborhood of $700 to do the entire tractor (all three axles, both sides) |

Wow, I guess my memory isn't all that bad. I think mine ran a little bit more because I had them rotate all my tires at the same time. |

| I have centramatics, the theory seems sound. I also added Cat's Eyes when I had my new drives put on. It sure makes tire checks alot more efficient. |

Crossfires. I have removed several of them off my truck, and plan to remove the rest. They just aren't holding up very well (valve stems snapping off on a regular basis). I used to be a big fan of them, but I have changed my mind.
What I would like to find, though, is an extender for the inside valve, to make it easier to check and fill. |
