    If the GVWR on your trailer is only 26,000# then you obviously don't have 20,000# axles. Yes, you should be able to tag the truck for 59,000#. Check and see if there is a gross combination vehicle weight rating on your truck. If it's less than 59,000# than that would be the limit you would use for your tag. Single axle class eight trucks have a gvwr of 33,000# and a gcvwr of 80,000#. Thats how they pull doubles.

    Good to see you back here Steve.

    As Herb said, 20k per axle or 34k for tandems on the interstates. With a spread axle your trailer is 20k per axle so you should be legal at 72,000 if the axles and tires are rated accordingly. You also need to look at the bridge law for required spacing on all axle groups and all axles total.

    Your truck GVWR is 33,000. Probably 23k rear and 10k front. What is the GCVWR? THE "C" is combination. You should be able to license up to the GCVWR that would include the trailer.

    Good job. After you get a couple of those under your belt, the rest will be a walk in the park.

    The 14,000 BTU heater in the R cab could be a problem if always on high.

    Crawl under the truck on the drivers side and read the numbers stamped in the side of the transmission. 2050 is a five speed. 2060 is a six speed.

    I have a couple. Where are you located?

    Strike that. I just reread the title.

    Is that part number for a two or four valve?
  17. David
    Thanks, I'll try that.

    A lot more than the last load from NC.

    Thanks guys. It was definitely the oil cooler. Radiator was half full of sludge. No water in the oil pan. Round tube type. $380 for a reman from Mack. $30 for gaskets.

    He only has to catch something like a shirt sleeve, ring, or watch band as he's getting out just one time and he'll know what difference it makes.

    You would get used to after you banged up your knuckles a couple of times on the door handle. Think it would really mess with your mind if they switched the pedals around?

    Mike T. Turbo, Are you related to Frank R. Turbo? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_R._Turbo Nothing like busting the balls of a newbie to make 'em feel welcome.
  24. David
    Any way to tell if it's the oil cooler or a head gasket?
  25. David
    That's funny. When I saw it was in St. Louis, I wondered if he might be interested in it.
