  1. and how high does it go? Will it hold a dually? Will torque go to 1200?
  2. The dyno thread got alittle off topic. I ve been pulling for awhile. I don t know Im correct, but I believe I am anyways . There is a lot of bad information, ussually given by friends or law inforcement because of how they understand it. Thats actually a problem, you could be completely legal and another entity may not see it that way. weights: GVWR, gross veh weight rating= the veh loaded. it and all its contents and passengers. GCVWR, gross combined veh weight rating, is the veh and the trailer and there contents and passengers. axle ratings. The weight each axle should not go over, this differs from the gvwr numbers so loading can be an issue. For those with trucks, most of us.....if the truck (deisel) has a gvwr over 10k lbs it does not need a smog. It is viewed as a commercial veh. If you pull over 10k lbs (truck and trailer loaded) and it scales over 10k, you should have an endorsement on your NV license. This is everyone........ Your trucks gvwr and gvwr of the trailer can not be over 26 k lbs together.....if your trucks RATING is 13000 then you can not pull a trailer with a RATING of more then 12999 lbs. Doesn t matter if you don t go over in actual weight, its the tag of the gvwr's that matter. You can not just load lighter) If you do exceed 26k lbs with the rating of your truck and trailer combined then you need another license. Luckily NV is smart in this one......NV offers a class A NON CDL. Which licenses you to over 26k pounds. My license says .....doubles /triples over 26k...... but it is NOT a cdl. It is a class A. I can drive anything as long as its not for profit. It is even better if I own it cause otherwise they would suspect its for profit. (being paid to drive) My trucks GVWR is 11000, my trailers gvwr is 15500, thats 26500 , it does not matter if it actually weights in at 23k.....I still have to be licensed for over 26k. As for the other things.....scale it......scale it ..... scale it.... lots of problems towing are associated with misplaced weight. The biggest thing for this group to look out for.....the single wheel trucks. The gwr of the truck will be much higher a lot of times then the load rating on your tires......so you can over load your tires easy, and the desert heat kills tires by building lots of heat till they come apart. This is often the problem with trailers that seem to lose tires on one axle, ussually the back, cause the truck is to high(trailer to low) loading the rear trailer axle with more weight. BTW, I know the arguments with rv usage but if the hiway patrol says you have cargo in it (toy haulers) there isn t much you can do about it.
  3. wow what a cool site it really worked. I pull it with this
