1961H67 Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 I’ll take it off this week and measure when it’s relaxed, I’ll find a CH or RD and compare , I would say the hood on the Superliner is longer and uses a slightly different spring,, Probably just enough to have a different part number 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-583176 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted October 17 Author Share Posted October 17 This one has a few scars on the lower corners but not too bad overall,, it was used hauling coal in West Virginia when we got it so it has some pretty good pitting, I’ve been sanding with 120, 220,320 ,400, 600, I’m slowly getting there. Yes 2026 will be here quickly! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted Monday at 12:57 PM Share Posted Monday at 12:57 PM I almost missed this Latest post. It sounds like a very tedious work and time consuming but can’t be as as dirty and filthy as cleaning up this baked on rearend oil. Glad I’m almost done. Also not very happy about the weather changing around here. The sun is not shining. I really don’t even feel like going out of the house. Best of luck with that bud ….. bob 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584425 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted Tuesday at 01:17 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:17 AM Thank you, I found some hood springs , Universal works just fine as long as the length is close, I’m closer on finishing this project, Hopefully get the bull bar on in a couple days, Then the biggest thing left is to polish the fuel tanks and install, I found some NOS tank strap insulation . 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted Wednesday at 11:16 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:16 PM Wow!!! I like the 385's on the steer, but that tread pattern will make people think it is a 6X6!! 2 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584605 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really common around here, I see a lot of the concrete mixers and dump trucks run it, but I've noticed low boy haulers using wide steer tires recently, bet it gives them better stability or something. 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584615 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Geoff Weeks Posted 15 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 15 hours ago 40 minutes ago, The Heinz said: It' low boy haulers using wide steer tires recently, bet it gives them better stability or something. Allows for bigger tire footprint for heavier loads. Many states require so much square inch of tire contact for a given load. To get 20K on a steer you need more than weight capacity on the tire in some jurisdiction, you need enough contact area as well. You can buy a tire that is not much wider than a common 11r 22.5 that can handle 10K/tire, but many places will not allow that much on such a narrow tire. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heinz Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Interesting, I don't know if NC is like that, or if this is just a trend that fleets are following. Thanks for that info though, another thing I didn't know. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584619 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brocky Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago I understand the 385 and 425 tire widths on the steering to support the weight, but those a the first I have seen with a drive tire tread design.. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584628 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted 7 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 7 hours ago I'm pretty sure 385,425, steers are just that, steers. When I used to do P.D.I.'s on front load garbage trucks, they would order them with 315's all the way around and pull the 8 Drives off to be be used as spare steer tires, and put caps on the drives. My 2 cents... 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584630 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 2 cents... I bet those trucks were green and white. They're just mixed service steers on Dean's, and my guess is being Michelins they're expensive. They say they do better on soft earth as opposed to a more ribbed highway design type. Believe it or not, a 315 steer (like may come off of a green and white truck) rated for 10000 pounds usually costs more then a like rated 385. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75539-superliner-rw700-steering-axle/page/5/#findComment-584632 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1961H67 Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Yes they are Michelins 385s , And they are pricey, But the will last twice as long as a 11R and handles much better, they don’t follow uneven lines in the road. I’ve had a set of Continentals on my Western Star since July 2021 they have about 1/4 tread left,, I didn’t write down the mileage, but I can find it on fuel tickets just for comparison with the Michelins . A friend of mine has run both and he loves the aggressive style of the Michelins . I just like the way they make the Truck look .I don’t think North Carolina has any laws about weight per square inch , but there probably should be especially on a dump truck . Someone posted a picture of a Black COE F Model a few years ago with a set of Floats on it and it completely changed the look of a F Model! I’ll see if I can find it.
