[QUOTE="Sandsailor, post: 12388952, member: 342319"]So I finally got around to checking my door sticker(I was in another). my door sticker says: gvmr: 50,000lbs Front axle: 12,000 2nd axle: 19,000 3rd axle: 19,000 which would total at 38k for the Flex Air. but this confused me. My brother has the same truck but a 1999. This are his specs with a Low Air Leaf Gvmr: 48,000 Front axle: 12,000 2nd axle: 18,000 3rd axle: 18,000 And we always assumed his was a regular 40k tandem and he has permitted up to 46k on those and driven many miles, I asked him if the DOT had checked that before, he said, they just look at the permits and send me on my way. Another friend with a 90s 379 as well, showed me a Class 1 inspection he had today and he also had a GVWR of 48,000 with low air leaf. As far as I know, Low Air Leaf was 40k yet they have lower GVWR than my Flex Air.[/QUOTE]
