    Nope, the truck/trailer ended up at like $15,500. Thought that was WAY too rich for my blood. I ended up picking up a truck/trailer combo at the steffes sale in Fargo today that was much better. '87 T-600 Daycab (ex-sleeper rig that had the sleeper removed) with a 13 speed, jake, and 3406B cat 400hp. The trailer is a '93 Timpte 40". Ended up with about 18,500 in the entire rig, and I can haul WAY more.

    Try giving Lucken Truck Parts, Inc. Out of Winger, MN. They've got ALOT of parts over there!!!

    That is the max the truck can haul legally.
    To get there you would still need a dual axle trailer because more than likely it has about a 12,000lb front axle

    I can get 69,900 gross on my single axle pulling a 10' spread trailer.

    The rating the DMV gives can be set anywhere you like but if you haul more than truck is factory rated for you will still get fined.
    And if you get that one cop who "wants you" he will check the data plat on truck and trailer.
