October 2016 - just done at Mavis Tires, Delran NJ. Noddy (so named for the very bad front shocks that were immediately replaced when I got it) was a former fleet vehicle that (at least for tail end of its time
there) was indifferently maintained. Poor thing ran terribly with
so-called 'proper' truck tires - hard ride, loud, poor handling, poor
fuel economy. Here it is fitted with traditional 'wagon wheels' by US
Wheel, coutesy of Summit Racing Equipment, and new tires - which at this
time happen to be General Altimax 225R60/16 rear and Cooper 205R60/16 front (at first I had 15" Altimax on front but wheels did not fit with new brakes). Runs and handles like a race car now.
Noddy is regularly maintained by Caplan Engines and Service, Beverly, NJ. Indescribably excellent service there - call and ask for Shawn.
(None of the dents in this poor truck are from me. I don't damage vehicles.)
