A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Meh, FL's are okay...I kinda like the Classic XL but the Peterbilt 379 is king, just ask Michael Bay or Metallica.

...and this is a great opportunity for my PSA! If any of you are still the type to drive alongside a truck for any longer than it takes to pass you are retarded. This Michelin bitchslapped my catwalk two days ago...your windshield and/or face would've fared even worse. Stay the fuck away from trucks, please!

those pics are classic examples of recap coming apart.  Back when I had my own tri axle dump truck, I tried them out because they were cheaper.  Damn if that wasn't a mistake... any money saved on the purchase was lost on repairs to the truck.  Hell the worst time was losing a cap on the tag axle and having wrap itself around the front tandem.  I spent 3 hours and used numerous sawzall blades removing that damn thing.

I believe it. Due to the ridiculous cost of sending out a wrecker, I doubt they run 'em. That and they appear to have a contract with Michelin, but what do I know?

guess ya just got a bad one then ...no matter. Your right about the 379, they were awesome trucks.  I never really cared for a freightshaker, especially the fl series. But there is no way I would turn down a chance to give that one hell.

Recaps are good for wheel barrels. You guys should see the damage when the old split rims blew apart.

Split rims ended a lot of lives.

I had a recap blow out on a CT trailer in front of me last summer, of course I was driving my GN. The only time I don't gun it and get past an 18w before they merge... I slowed up so the truck could get in, then the recap blew. Good thing my ttops were on. Scratched up the car in a couple spots... Nothing that couldn't be fixed, but I still dinged there insurance company for $1300.

And I took the ditch at 70 mph - wish I had that Dukes of Hazzard move on video.
