Has anyone in here had thier axles moved? I sure that there has been. I need a good ball park on the cost. Would love a couple of names of places that are good at this kind of work as well. Layoutshooter

We have been asked on more than one occasion if we were a armed service. Many in the military cannot understand how certain shipments travel unprotected. Neither can I. I can see how pointing a loaded red button at a hi-jacker will deter him/her from doing what ever to us. I feel soo safe with...

We are not being singled out. Most states do not allow people to carry. Some are now getting carry permits, Michigan being one of them. Not all states that have carry permits recognize others that do. In MA you will be arrested if you carry a gun, any gun, through the state unless you register...

You are right, sorry about that. Sometimes things just flow the way they do. I am good for that. Can the suckers anyway!!!!!!! LOL Layoutshooter

I don't know. I was not the first owner of the truck. It was sold as a "C" unit. The lift axle was put on after it was delivered. The build sheet said the wheelbase was "300. It is now "324. All you rookies need to check out used trucks better than I did. Measure the wheel base, have it weighed...

Nope, wish it was that easy. I am heavy when empty. I need to find out why there is no door sticker with the 13,200lb axle upgrade. Both the build sheet and Freightliner say there is the 13,200 not a 12,000 like the sticker says. I can get this legal for now by running with the lift axle down...

I guess that would explain it all Leo. I just wish that just once one of these goobers could just forget there are lawyers and just answer the questions. I don't understand why I can't just return the axle to the position that it came from the factory with. I was given a price of $6-8000 to do...

I should be able to put on a full size tire. Freighliner was no help. I need to talk with someone else. They suggested leaving things alone and putting a 16,000lb axle on the front, with tires to match. They told the shop that they don't build trucks like mine. Is the whole world goofy...

That 13,300 was the figure that Freightliner gave me yesterday when I had them pull up the specs on the truck. Layoutshooter

Thanks to all for the support. I talked with Alumi-Bunk again today and they say that the truck was shipped with 13,300lb axles. They cannot put 14,000 on this truck. They also state that it was shipped with a "300 wheelbase. They are sending me a copy of the build sheet. I am about 800lbs off...

Let's see if this works, a picture of the truck. Layoutshooter

I have never voted for ANYONE that I wanted in that office. I will vote for Macain just because he sucks less that Obama. He still sucks, they all did. Maybe there will be a 9.0 earthquake the day before election day that only wipes out the polling places and all exsisting politions. Then we can...

I don't know Leo, only time will tell. The shop I have it at now is working with a sales/truck build engineer at Freightliner to come up with a number on how far we need to move the axles. At least I will have numbers that I might be able to trust. They are also checking to see how the truck...

I will get a pick as soon as the truck comes out of the shop. It is in for a DOT and pm's on the reefer and APU. I talked with Alumi-bunk. They said they think that the truck had 14,000lb axles put on, they will get back to me with the info. There is no record of that being done as far as...

Thanks for the info, I sent you a PM. I sense hope in the future. Layoutshooter

Not for long on the pitch forks after Osama Bama gets elected. No way will he allow ANY weapons in the hands of the people. They might try to stop him from forcing us into a socialist state. I wonder, how many of us is he willing to kill to get his socialist Utopia? Layoutshooter

That is a state by state reg on firearms. No way in Canada. Both governments want us at thier mercy and the mercy of the thugs. Layoutshooter

The truck I drove prior to this one had 14,000lb axles. It ran "h" rated tires. That truck is still running strong. If I had the 14's and could get my weight down below that of the "H" tires I would be ok. Look at the bright side. I have a lot to keep me busy for several months. Layoutshooter

Thanks Linda and Bob. I will get with you as I learn what is going on. We are at home now, be here all week. Jan needs a CDL, we are due for a DOT and all that good stuff. Will try to squeeze in some fun. Going to a Mud Hen's game Monday night. Cook out at my Dad's with the family for Father's...

No cheap answer, that is for sure. I am afraid that there is 12,000lbs axles on the front but I will find out Monday for sure. I will talk with alumi-bunk Monday as well. Layoutshooter
