good news and bad news

[WYO1936]

5er made it to factor"bouncey: bad news they blowed all 4 tires on the way
and tore the fender skirts off both sides
:banghead:

[rhagfo]

All four at the same time? I would do a very careful PDI of the repairs to the damaged area!

[WYO1936]

no. they said one at a time, but it sounds like to me they blow one and did'nt catch it, same thing on the other side.I know they had good air before it went. I think they running to fast and got hot.:confused:

[MIKEPATC]

Yes ... I use a TST Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) and it is amazing how much the temperature and pressure varies in tires with highway speed and air temperature outside.

[byrdr1]

will they not fix this issue as part of the deal? I would think this would be covered by the hauler insurance? Just asking?

[rhagfo]

Wow what brand were the factory tires?
This gets me thinking of a TPMS for my rig! I have 16" E rated that I run at 80 psi, they will do a lot of damage when they let go! Would easly cover the cost of a good TPMS.

I do'nt remember the brand but sounds like what I had.

[WYO1936]

I'm beging to think this trailer has a monkey on it's back.:eek:

[byrdr1]

yes they are.:)

[WYO1936]

well it's in the plant getting worked on. only a week behind because a rig from canada with same problem took longer to repair, hopeing to hear something soon.

[azlee56]

wow, two of them with the same problems. I'd be freaking about now.

[hankaye]

WYO1936, Howdy;

Please forgive me for being thick, but why is it back
at the factory ???
Good to hear they are going to fix the flats and the resulting damage as well...

I had talk about it in recalls, there is know recall. My pin box was moving up and down about 3-4 ins. and the side wall on driver side over hitch moves up and down a half in. there is about 5 rigs that I know of with the same thing wrong.:mad:

[smiller]

no. they said one at a time, but it sounds like to me they blow one and did'nt catch it, same thing on the other side.Which is one reason why it's essential to use a TPMS. It's pretty easy to not notice a blowout, or low pressure because of a slow leak which is nearly undetectable. And once one tire on a side is gone the other will be grossly overloaded and sure to follow. I've never experienced two tires being out on the same side :eek: and that's a situation I desperately want to avoid. All easily preventable with a TPMS.

[azlee56]

I know you all are talking me into getting one more and more. I will have another toy to play with. .whoohoooo (one that might keep me alive at that).

[chris199]

I'm convinced too! Think I will wait for my birthday or Christmas or some other special ocassion. Come to think of it...perhaps my DW and I should exchange gifts for July 4..everyone does right?? ;)

Sounds good to me! I think I have seen four wheels for under $300, got a pretty stable package, but would not like the fun of dealing with a blow out on the 5er at 60 mph!
I would cover the trailer first then add sensors to the TV.

[WYO1936]

The rig had a new side wall on driver side replaced.
a new set tires, new finder skirts on both sides and should
be done in a couple of days I hope.:rolleyes:
know I'm thinking shoud I go get it or take chance
on a hauler blowing the tires off again.:confused:

Does anyone like a certain brand of these. I guess a person would do 4 tires (for trailer) and then go to the 4 tires on the truck?

[WYO1936]

They are haveing the axel manufacture come over
to check them to make sure they are okay
after the clown :( blow all 4 tires.
they are giving me a new ladder that I
broke just for good will :D (tx)

[azlee56]

I was just thinking about you and an update. I wonder what else needs to be checked! They are giving you a ladder for good will? Made me laugh. How did you break it if you haven't had it delivered yet? Hope I am remembering right here.

Well I didn't really break it I was backing up to my shop
and :eek: I got to close. :o

[azlee56]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, oops. That is a kind of a break. or a crunch. On the bright side maybe all this is out of the way and the rest of the years is fun adventures and not fixing adventures.

[WYO1936]

new up date.
axle manufactor closed for three weeks
so keystone is going to replace every thing from the frame domn
new springs,new brakes ,tires,wheels and axles "bouncey:
It kinda makes you think that they found soom thing:rolleyes:
and want to cover their tracks. I don't this is good will to make
me feel good :rolleyes: but I'll take it (tx)

[azlee56]

:applause: that is great!:party:

[SAABDOCTOR]

wow They are going to replace everything and you don't think that's Good will! what do you think they should do? but before you tell me read the warranty contract! at least it is getting fixed"bouncey:

[azlee56]

since it blew 4 tires I'd hope they are being friendly and not taking chances on it happening to you.

[WYO1936]

wow They are going to replace everything and you don't think that's Good will! what do you think they should do? but before you tell me read the warranty contract! at least it is getting fixed"bouncey:

I think they must have found something that was not wright and are praying it safe. I just hope the tires are a good brand :rolleyes:

[WYO1936]

They got the rig done :p It's in transport and should be
on it's way home next week. now if some cowboy
does'nt blow the tires before it gets I'll be a happy camper

the trailer came back to dealer :bm:

the factory messed up more than it fixed :mad:
After replacing the left side wall thy didn't get air bubbles out of roof,
thy messed up two slide covers that need to be replaced,
thy messed up microwave it hangs crooked,
no surround sound,frig. has dents in both doors,
didn't put trim back in storage compartment and water closet,
storage door strut bracket on the other side pulled out,
four way flashers blink the back up lights not stop lights,
panels in front of trailer beside storge door caved in on both sides,
and they still didn't "FIX THE HITCH",:banghead: it still moves 3/4in.
they have to replace the stabilizer jacks that got bent when they blow the tires and tryed to straiten with a torch.

Me and keystone had a long talk because it's going back to the factory again. :banghead:
