ThaddeusW Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Probably going to Quebec Canada. I was there this past summer and there were plenty of those twin steer dumps running around.

Underdog Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Probably going to Quebec Canada. I was there this past summer and there were plenty of those twin steer dumps running around.I agree with you Thad. This seems to be standard in Quebec. Lots running around Montreal Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7693-where-are-they-going/#findComment-27940 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coalbucket Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I agree with you Thad. This seems to be standard in Quebec. Lots running around MontrealI would be concerned about the design of the front suspension. I could envision where if you drove off of a curb you could hang the first steer axle and overstress the second steer axle.The old DMM used to have the first steer on spring and the second steer on air. I think the Quebec conversions is all on spring. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/7693-where-are-they-going/#findComment-28058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullfuel01 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 yeah really looks like set-up we have here in Qc.. the only strange thing is no truck company makes it this way.. you have to bring the truck into a specific shop and then they convert it. Mack will be the first one to make a 4 axle truck like this for Qc!! I believe that in Georgia laws are similar to Qc for load spand on a truck so maybe it was going down in gGeorgia.. all US trucks run second axle without any steer rod but we are obligated to put one down here.. DMM were using spring on both axle, but on second axle you have less spring and an air bag.. help a lot on job site because you can release pressure in the bag and gain more traction on other wheels...
