    If it is it that would answer the versatility question. I suppose it could be pin-on just like on the back of a lowboy. Where he has it lifted though I wonder about it being removable.

    Looks like you did it just fine! Nice root wad! We tip them over and use the tree/root wads in our river work.

    Its high mileage wear is all I see. They had some soft cams about 1999-2001 that got changed under warranty. They never lasted more than 150k. It's not good, but it's normal high milage wear.

    This is the eff'd up part. With the scoring on the lobe, the truck didn't smoke & ran great. I was just down on mpg's so I figured time to run overhead. That's when scoring was discovered, & against better advise, I opted to get a new camshaft..

    Sorry, just repeating myself.

    Thank you for the input though.

    Mines only a 11.1, 350hp. Factory tune I believe. Was a very clean running truck. I like to bump the power one day, but be stoked if it was just running right, & on the road making money for now..

    I've seen that truck up close. He runs a dedicated run. It is a pin on rear axle. In a perfect world a dual quad would be great. But it would be hard on tires and suspension when turning. And limit you on certain routes with the bridge settings.

    Those could be/are self steering though? Almost all tags are self steering here but maybe some states don't allow them.

    The inner bridge would be where we would get cut back on allowable weight I suspect.
