    That's why they went to the weed burner.

    I'm told the stack, muffler, associated mounting hardware, supports, and piping are almost 500 pounds.

    How much does a condo weigh compared to a midroof? How much does a dry van weigh compared to a combo flatbed?

    I’m 31500 with full 200 gallon tanks. A headache rack carrying somewhere in the neighborhood of 800-900 pounds of gear. All aluminum rims and a 53’ combo Utility.. condo and an APU don’t equal an extra 3k...

    That trailer must be more than I thought or those cats need a diet, Dave... :eek:

    Looks like vans are another 5-7k heavier than aluminums, which are around 8-9k.

    What are 8 chains too? At least 200 pounds. 100 pounds of DEF. Mines a '12. I also have a Cummins. Cummins about 98% metal. Not so with DD.

    When I'm empty with trailer, say half tanks or less, my steer axle is 11,500. When I'm 77,000 gross, full or close to full tanks, steer is 11,950.
