Been a while since I had one of these but I know they can be helpful on scaling your load. Refresh my memory.....what number do you want to be close to as you adjust the tandems??
Thanks ahead of time!

On my 13 Cascadia it was the notch above 60. I wish my kw t680 had that gauge.

You're welcome! I forgot to mention that I'd still scale it out. That gauge is nice in that when the tandems are slid to the point at which the gauge reads at the mark above 60, the drives should be 34000. This can reduce unnecessary reweighs. Good luck!

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a "fifth wheel pressure gauge"?
The one that measures the air pressure in your suspension? -
That's what I thought.
But won't this number pretty much vary on every truck?jason6541 Thanks this. -
Every truck/suspension system will be different. Need to actually scale and make written notes of the pressure to verify for future reference. Once you get to actual 34k once, and note the pressure, then you know.
