    I would fix it now.

    If you wait it could go even farther.

    Drill stop the crack. V it out on both sides.

    After you get it welded up see if you can add a larger support plate behind the bracket. Not just to cover it but to spread out the load more.

    Stop turning so much……lol

    That's a pretty easy one to take care of now. I'd fix it quick. You will be OOS if inspected

    Yeah, I'd fix that PRONTO!! Cracked frame is nothing to ignore. I had a cracked frame rail on my Western Star, even crossed a scale, got home, saw the truck was leaning a bit, and sure enough, right behind the sleeper, a bad spot, apparently.. I had the frame "sleeved" with a smaller channel and welded, but cracked in the same place again. It's a good thing you saw that, good work, driver!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
