    It's the wb. Even though they're not super long, the 5th wheel is mounted back and then most of us run them all the way back. You even run the same trailer as me, so your empty weight should be right around 31k depending on how much fuel you have.

    If that was my load, I wouldn't sweat the 540lbs. I'd roll and stay light on fuel.

    Here's my #### show for today. 578 pieces of 1/4" and 1/2" sheetrock. About 5ft off the front and 2ft off the back. With the dunnage strips they put down, it's over 48k and I never scale because I don't want to know how much it weighs:D

    P. S. That is NOT my tarp job, that's the best I could get it after the losers in Sweetwater put the tarps on crooked then dealt with 30+mph winds to get it all secured.

    Ok who told you the secret ingredient to the lasagna!

    The layer was super thin. Tho when the bearings touched it, you could see an impression in a skin coat on the crank shaft. Alas my garage isnt wind tight. Sunday it is supposed to get into the mid 50's again. Tho last time I cleaned the crank, it was still tacky. Alas only one sock rag. Now to find something else that I can use to make sure it is squeaky clean.

    Hose the crank down with brake cleaner (the chlorinated stuff, but don't burn it, you'll die) THEN wipe it down with a rag. All you're doing currently is smearing the grease around and making it thinner.

    Sometimes I think some people should be required to take a skills test to post on the internet.
