If the pulling truck sits low (some would call average height), the tongue weight will be more than the 881 lbs it is when level as there will be more weight transferred forward.
Had issues with every square body Chevy truck I ever had. I bought a rebuilt one once that lasted just a few days, so I concluded the design was a flawed idea. Currently my CUCV dont spray at all. Not like it ever sees the interstate and I don't tailgate anyone so I just deal with it. Maybe some...
Ok. Used my 5-ton to pull both of my M1082s (one at a time, of course) out on pavement to tug to and fro getting the stuck brakes freed. Lesson learned is do not power wash any thing with air brakes without taking down the road a couple miles to dry the brakes out.
