    Well that not really any surprise when Paccar own Kenwoth and Pete.

    There are trying to sell their product.

    I would not be any means suprized if Paccar went on a buying spree purchasing more companies.

    GOOD decision NRG, and 54 inch allows you to get weight on the steering easier than 60 inch. I> would also get a 13K or 14K steer axle so you can run 6,000 kgs. on it.

    In my spec Dana 14.6 front and 46 rear, 226 or 236 wheelbase, still have a few months to make up my mind on the wheelbase length. What you think about wide track rear axles, is it legal for tandems and is there any benefits? Thanks.

    Wide track at 8' 6" give you way better stability. I wouldn't go narrower. All trailers today also track at 8' 6". You've got good specs. Later on you could sell that truck with no problems whatsoever.

    I would go 244 WB. Even Super "B" can run 26 Meters now. = 85' 3" compared to 82' as it was in the past.

    You're spread at 54" is very good. If you use 60 inch spread, you have to slide your 5th wheel further ahead to get weight on the front axle.

    Thanks! I did spec my rear axle D46-170HPW for heavy wall housing, lube pump, wide track. I will most like go with 236. More then that creates too much of a gap between the sleeper and the trailer, even with all my stuff installed on the frame.
