 The
airless bag to prevent your sag
and improve your ride! For
trucks with campers, trailers,
commercial bodies and all other loads..
SumoSprings
(the
world’s first and only “airless airbag” suspension
system for trucks and vans)
are manufactured from an advanced high grade, closed
cell polyurethane foam; ideal for the tough truck
underbody environment. The product underwent testing in
extreme conditions ranging from blistering US desert
summer days to the frigid Canadian winter nights.
Combining heavy loads with extreme terrain and
temperature conditions over eighteen months of testing
ensures their performance in any similar conditions our
customers might encounter.

 Gooseneck Easy
Coupler;
Do you know if your gooseneck coupler is
latched? Bulldog couplers are on the majority of
gooseneck trailers for decades. We've all used them and cussed them
when we have to pry the handle up to unlatch and teeter-totter our
belt buckles on the truck bedrail to reach in and get them latched or at least
hope we have them latched.
Folks tell me about what they don't like
about their trailers and gooseneck couplers are a popular complaint.
I hook and unhook my gooseneck every week, in the rain, in the snow
and in the dripping heat.

 Liquid
Ceramic Insulated Coating for your Trailer and Barn. Temp-Coat®
ceramic liquid insulation can make
as much as 30 degrees difference inside your trailer. Our testing was in May,
averaging 20 to 25 degrees most of the time. Imagine what July and August would
be like?That's the difference between needing Air Conditioning and
not, and not needing a generator to mostly run the AC. Temp-Coat is a green product, cool to the touch. Same benefit for your barn or shop. This is
cutting edge trailer, building and barn insulation technology.
Summer is almost here and it's about toasty trailer time. Ever
ride in the back of your horse trailer on a hot day?

 Automated
Safety Hitch,
Joe Jamieson
thinks towing is an evolutionary process,
should improve issues of safety and ease of
use. Now with thousands of miles towing with
the Automated Safety Hitch, I understand
it's importance and fun. I can take my rig,
which at times is 72 ft. long, weave in and
out of hotel parking lots, gas
stations and switchback mountain roads.
The
braking
steer axle makes it quadra-steer.
It looks
complicated until you understand it. The
four features that standout the most using
this new trailer technology is, improved
braking, lane to lane direction changes
staying in your lane (turning corners,)
stability and jackknifing with purpose. The connection
to your vehicle
can articulate vertically for uneven ground, railroad crossings
providing an independent suspension. But
horizontal movement is solid giving you the
safety and stability of a 9 ft. longer
wheelbase.

 Battery
Maintenance and Pulse Technology Conditioning with Solar can
Double your Battery Life.
Batteries
keep us rolling and give us conveniences in our trucks and
trailers. But if you don’t maintain them, you’ll be stranded and
surprised. I run a lot of toys from my eight 12 volt outlets in
my truck, from my cooler to my motion detector in the trailer.
Diesel trucks use two 12 volt batteries for extra power to start
a diesel engine. Living Quarter horse trailers usually have two
deep cell batteries that can be drawn down and last a long time.
With 4 batteries between your truck and trailer, proper
maintenance is important. There's new technology that can do
most of the work for you.
Sulfation is the
largest cause of battery deterioration.

Premium Trailer Review, 10 Years to the Top
Even in the current recession, Cimarron Trailers is improving,

manufactures at the top in premium trailers. None
surpasses Cimarron current models. The top trailers need
smart engineering, custom doors and windows, top

quality uniformity on all trailers from roof to axles.

 Trail riding and
Travel N Corrals go hand in hand. Easy to take with you, easy to
setup. Horses tied to a trailer for hours can cause problems.
Keep your horses relaxed in a roomy corral as you enjoy the
great outdoors between rides. Sleep well at night with your
Travel N Corrals placed where you want them and in plain site of
your bedroom window. If you go to high
school rodeo's, you will see portable corrals everywhere.

Trailer Electronic Technology for Safer, Easier Connection.
EZ
is a magnetic connection, powerful magnets. Just get the male end near
the female plug and "pop" it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket
and plug to match the right connections. The male end has two silicone
o-rings, the cables have sealant injected inside, all to make the system
water proof. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all
the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in
my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights.

“Oh mom, it is just
awful! Those poor horses are just standing out there in the all of that
snow. They are probably freezing! Can we put coats on them like the
horses in the barn? Please?” The kindhearted requests came frequently
from our foster kids. Most of these youngsters have never been on a
farm and do not know much about farm life, but it warms my heart to hear
their requests. It opens doors for discussion and learning, and best of
all, the animals can crack through the shell that develops around

The Best Tranny Pans, Differential, and Valve Covers. |
|
  PML knows how to keep
you covered! You hear me complaining about oil
capacity on this website constantly. Now I found a way to add 2 or 3 more
quarts of oil to your tranny and differential. The more oil, the more
cooling ability, the longer your truck will stay out of the shop and on the
road! Pulling trailers builds extra heat in your engine, transmission and
axles. You need extra oil capacity and a cover designed for cooling, not the
stamped flat pans and covers truck manufactures buy 100,000 at a time from
the cheapest bidder. It's up to you to give your truck the longest life.

New Truck Repair Technology

 If you follow
my articles, you know how big a fan of new technology I am. At the new
Transwest Truck Trailer RV facility, is an
awesome machine called a Road Simulator. Looks kind of like a dyno, but
does use rollers to test brakes rolling resistance and balance. Transwest uses it to test all their new horse trailers so
they are ready for your roads. It can find
just a torn axle seal leaking on the brakes. It would surprise you how
many "new axles" on new trailers are over greased, limiting your trailer
brakes ability. With the kind of traffic we
pull trailers in, testing brakes becomes routine. And worn suspension

 Stop
tire cupping, vibration and
premature wear on those expensive
truck, RV & trailer tires.
Centramatic automatic wheel
balancers have been saving money on
tires for semi-trucks for over
twenty years. Now you can
automatically balance your tires,
wheels, hub and rotors or drums
while you drive. A balanced tire
doesn't cub, vibrates less & lowers
the tire sidewall temperature from
less flexing, giving you longer tire
life. 5 year warranty, made in the
USA.
