Transmission and auxiliary transmission

228”, but they told me much under 250” would be tough.

 

I suppose if you had those funky Mack rears it could be done with a shorter wheelbase. Drive angle would be more flat. Just a random thought

 

I’m not sure Peterbilt would necessarily say anything, it was the Spicer rep that said it to me.

 

244 wheelbase but only a 3 axle

 

Look I’m just repeating what I was told, I have no first had knowledge nor do I really care. It was food for thought if someone is looking, it’s one of those things that might only come up if asked.

 

I was just giving my experience...

 

Set forward axle or back? They would have the same drive shaft length and angle but different wb

 

They wouldn’t have a different wheelbase, they’d have a different bumper to bumper length.

 

Wheelbase is measured from the front axle. You can have the same length tractor with a shorter wb. Or else why is it called wheelbase?
