Too bad there isnt a good outfit like that here in NE kansas hot shotting would be a good down time job.
When you are going by weight where is your limit? The trailer gvw or GCWR liscence? Just curious I have never even considered weight on our rigs only been stopped once, I was scaled at 33,000+ wasnt loaded to heavy just a medium load DOT didnt seem to bat an eye at us

I just saw your other thread about the frame flex,
I also see you are runnin the ball ahead of the axle, my LB7 is 3 inch behind axle centerline, the LML is more than that, reason being the necks on our 6 horses are max width of the trailers jack knifing isnt hard the back of the LB7 can attest to that.
Only one back window broke but the both sides are crushed in and the rear doors dont open all the way with out chipping paint off the doors
Being behind axle centerline, is harder on the truck I try and rear load our trailers a bit to pull back up on the nose of trailers.

thought about getting a 84" cab to axle truck? that would fix your cab corner problem
My 88 was an 84" truck, man it was nice never worring about jack knifeing.
The LB7 would give up the goast I would like to get a no option cab chassis max/alli truck. Minus injectors the LB7 seems to be going strong been doing a lot of brush hogging, so I've been pullin our 1953 641 ford around all over cooked 2 bearings on our new car hauler. I never even thought to check the wheel bearing for greese on a brand new trailer... I guess it's always a good idea they were bone dry got hot enough it popped the powder coat on the fenders and I think the tires need replaceing...
Been an expensive year
Those D6T blades suck ass to build... The H-Frame they sit in is awful to assemble, and disassemble, and reasenble add hydros, disassemble send to paint, reasseble add hydros and finally out to shipping.D6T and blade
all 4 hubs on mine weren't tq'd right when i got it new.. i run min 500* drop temp grease and dust caps with grommets. i put a knife slit in each grommet to allow pressure to dissipate easier . i've had the build enough pressure to pop a cap off at speed.
to say the engine was "broke in" by the PO is an understatement :rofl:
i sucked the filter minder solid red int he memphis tn to NJ run.. pulled it found out is was OEM ORIGNAL AC delco blue donaldson with 9 2007 printed on the filter!! it also used ~2.5qt of oil in ~8,000miles worth of towing. i have put ~12.5k on it since i put it on line
this week been pulling 12-12.5mpg as well.. with just tuner and 4" exhaust when i started it was doing 9-10mpg
picked up steel tubing to make HYD cylinders for cat and JD
2007
yep.. when i left out that week the minder was ~50% from OH to North east AR. took the hills on I40 in TN leaving memphis about 100 miles to suck it to "i need replaced NOW" and the truck acting winded and pulled MPG down into 7-8 range
BTW dealer (only people that had on in stock) charges 83.00 for one
