My truck has 3.73s in 44 rears with an 18 and I've never had issues going into landfills at 99,000-117,000 depending where I am, it has a lot to do with the driver more then the truck, but I would still rather have heavier spec truckRuthless Thanks this. -

"Exception to formula
There is one exception to the use of the formula and table: two consecutive sets of tandem axles may carry a gross load of 34,000 pounds each—providing the overall distance between the first and last axles of such consecutive sets of tandem axles is 36 feet or more. For example, a 5-axle tractor-semi trailer may be used to haul a full 34,000 pounds on the tandem of the tractor (axles 2 and 3) and the tandem of the trailer (axles 4 and 5), providing there is a spacing of 36 or more feet between axles 2 and 5. A spacing of 36 feet or more for axles 2 through 5 is satisfactory for an actual W of 68,000 pounds even though the formulaor table computes W maximum to be 66,000 to 67,500 pounds for spacings of 36 to 38 feet. This special exception is stated in the Federal law."RockinChair Thanks this.
