    Makes one wonder why they didn't just order 6x2 trucks instead of ordering twin screws. If they didn't want the lock up, then just put on a dead axle. That would have gotten rid of the interaxle diff and saved a grip of weight and cured their problem in idiot proofing the trucks.

    Pretty sure 6x2 trucks aren't legal in western Canada as well.

    Does Mesilla Valley run up there? That would be a good indicator, if they do, as they run that setup, alot.
