I agree. Hubtex and combi both corrected this issue a while back..not sure about other brands etc. Biggest issue we have is the same as combi where a customer wants to save $ and use an aftermarket (softer) tire. They save on tire price but replace them more often.

I had a customer today filling me in on fantuzzi sideloaders they had in the past have leveling cylinder issues. He claimed they replaced them almost monthly. We are adding some hubtex and baumann units but the fleet will still have some fantuzzi's in it under the contract. Anyone else seen these issues?
