He said to make sure to bring the truck back right away though becauaw you don't want to drive on the streets with the helium because the steering can become too light and floaty.

took the trolling one step too far

I would try one of copper health bands on the trailer ball first. Seems like it would improve the aerodynamic properties of the truck while improving overall balance and vehicle health.

Cheap!

I'm just buzzed on some smooth whiskey right now so I could be wrong.

If so then they should give you a break on a nitrogen charge. Just tell em to bleed out 22% and then top it off with nitrogen.

I once saw a James bond type movie where the main character was trapped under water in his vehicle. The bad guys were waiting for him on surface, so he survived by breathing the air in his tires.
People! This could not be possible with old stale air in your tires. For your own safety, should you ever be trapped under water, I urge you to please change your tire air annually..

I think pressing the "load" button just directs you to this thread as this thread is a load...

That's dangerous as it requires the wheels to be spinning to create the centrifugal force for separating the oxygen out. Many shops will look at you like your some kind of maniac.
