Dear grigg,
Thank you for the tip on welding the rims and tire assembly. I meant take the tire off the rim, weld it, let it cool overnight, and then put it back on the rim. Will this be safer? I noticed on both of those videos the tire is on the rim. It looks like the welding is making the air inside the tire expand, therefore, making it explode. I also wanted to know if it is a 1st, or 2nd series. Can someone help? The VIN is W2 55S038981. I also want to know the month and day it was made. Which numbers on the VIN indicate this? Does the 2 after the W mean it's a 2nd series? Anything is helpful.
Thanks Stovebolt members! Happy trucking!
