Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Yes you thinking correctly

4.78 ratio 52k rears on 52k Neway suspension.

It is double framed front to back - so it weighs in at a featherlight 31k bobtail…

Edit it will be for sale in about 2 months if’s you know someone that needs this size hammer

 

10-4!
What will replace it, or is that still classified information?

 

Not classified at all

Less truck to be honest.

Heavy 3 axle western star 49X with Allison but no aux - heavy single wall frame, 46K rears on the new 52k Hendrickson.

244” wheelbase

Basically built to run my new setup as a 2 plus 2 setup in the front and 4 or 3+1 in the rear.

I will either do a pin on 4th axle or an air ride single axle jump jeep to run as a 7 axle if there is sufficient work or just run as a 1/2/2/3 overkill.

I don’t/ can’t really do “normal” freight based on my tare weight and cost basis. So ….that is my plan - I guess

 

Thank you.
Sounds interesting.
Staying with the DD16? (I guess it’s available in the 49X)

 

yes, this will be my 4th in a row and have had almost no issues. A few sensors but that’s all. Hope this will be the same. I drive slow anyway - so being first to the top of the hills is not important to me at all.

 

I drive fast and have had very little issues with mine. Work it like a rented mule

 

see it covers the entire spectrum

I do wish the engine brake was stronger but that’s like wishing for a bigger….

 

The x15 definitely has it in the Jake brake department

 

yes but buying turbos and heads and all the other #### makes that a no go for me

 

Right
