    Because now you are too light on the steer. With it down and the fifth wheel in the same position you have taken weight off the steer as well as the drive

    You need to flip the box back up and permit for 42,000 on your drives yes I know you have 40k axles and I know you will be 600 pounds over permit. But that’s what you need to do. Unless all your states will allow over 42. Then permit for 43

    For some reason that didn’t have been on my truck. my steer weight has stayed the same. I did the CAT scan last night saw that I was heavy by over 4000
    so I flipped the neck last night and this morning I put in 50 gallons of diesel and then re-weighed my truck and now I’m still over but my steer IMG_9124.png IMG_9125.png has not changed

    Sorry about that. It has changed but just heavier. I’m guessing that’s because of the diesel fuel
