    3:42 rear axle ratio>you need a much lower ratio than that...3:90's would be more appropriate and a set of 2 speed rear ends would be the cat's meow! What Provinces in Canada only allow 12K on a steer axle?

    My 2013 Oversize Reference book shows 12,100 on the steers for Alberta and 12,125 for New Brunswick

    You can get more on the steer in Ab. Depends on tire size also. The best thing is to check their website for Ab.

    Exactly, most of those "books" are full of glaring errors!
    I'll be with a bit of digging you can get verifiable proof that you can pack 14K for sure and possibly 16K on a steer axle across Canada.

    And again, the book is full of errors so how "handy" is it when it's wrong.

    :biggrin_2559: we're all just alike. Baby I want this pair of earrings and we need to go out and do more and do this that and the other and I want this and I want that. All this I managed to answer yea sure uh huh sounds like a plan. I think she finally realized I was more engrossed in my issue of diesel power than her when I said "holy #### 1000 horses on a V8 cat". I suppose that's what gets you busted. And to think I thought I was trained:biggrin_25526:

    You've been doing it long enough we don't need to tell you when in doubt call the states. Only difference is the company doesn't have to pay the fine now you do.

    You could also look into a used tri axle dump. It will be set up for super heavy haul. Just make sure you know what emissions crap you are getting into.
