And another cold January. A new post again prompted by CTD owners on CF.

No more PA this year. Back to Texas and surrounding during last year. Tankers. As I hate box vans.

As to crosswind effect, suspension mods, (not just steering): rear smallest Helwig anti-roll bar and upsize the front factory bar (a required match). Also, a Super Steer Panhard Rod. With the minimum as entry level Bilstein or Koni shock absorbers, the Bed Wedge Cap would more than pay its way given sloppy steering “new” on older 4WD CTDs.

Crosswind effect almost zeroed for all but worst.

Highway aero would then be icing on cake.

Hard to convince others how much steering slop costs them.
