113" is not that wide, only 11" over, just requires a permit to move

Torch removes them quick

The laws vary by state. The interpretation varies by individual. Try a different office

A ranger overdrive will let you split the gears and is only about 7" long. Sounds like first overdrive would be just the ticket What tires and gear ratios are you running? One issue with this combination is the narrow power band of the diesel

McMasterCarr lists 1/2"

They are fairly common. I have two extra pair that I would sell but I am in ca

Any lift gate will have trade offs. The first problem with using a commercial lift gate on a military truck is the bed height is greater than a standard civilian truck The tommy gate has those vertical rails

Something is not adding up. If you are going through the trouble to up the gvw why go to 45,000, unless the tires are the limiting factor. A three axle truck can go to 46,000? Hopefully they add a data plate stating the new gvw. What you are paying for is the engineering and them accepting the...

The data plate on the dash lists the the load at 5 ton. Since this plate also contains the vin it would be illegal to alter it

That truck looks like it has an international cab and hood on it. There is not enough information to know who built it

The truck has a 10 speed allison? The cold blowing ac indicates that they have done a lot of work to the truck. To change the weight they may have changed both rear axles and the rear suspension, they may have also doubled the frame and added additional cross members. There is a company out...

There driving is fine. Have you lived and driven on the east coast? A lot of the roads date back to the colonial times. Try driving a semi down a road originally built for a horse and buggy. Lots of fun then add some real weather or rain, not this California drizzle, and it gets fun and...

Yes it is in the bridge law I have a truck here with a 17,000 lbs front axle but I am limited to 12,000 lbs by the law. The steering knuckles weaken the axle. A steering axle typically has half the tires of a drive axle that decreases its capacity and footprint area. Super singles are an...

Your question shows you need to read up on the bridge law or get a cdl. Steer axle is allowed to be 12,000 lbs Drive axle is 20,000 lbs for a single or 34,000 for tandem. They need to be spaced at least 12 feet to get the 20,000 per axle. You can go heavier with permits but you can not exceed...

You will need to find one from a three axle truck. They exist but are very rare.

Does the yellow tag, on the cable, have a number on it?

That trailer is essentially a low deck M1061. The problems with this trailer or the M1061 is they weigh about 5,000 lbs empty, this is a heavy trailer and they can push a Duece around. They have a gvw of around 15,000 lbs which exceeds the dueces rated towing capacity and is an automatic Class...

I have been told by multiple officials at several agencies that if you do not fit into one of the exemptions listed in paragraph C you will have to comply. The exemptions that do affect us are 9 and 10. There is an exemption, number 12, for pickups with a GVWR, gross vehicle weight rating, of...

How is it not an issue. You are either exempt or you have to comply. There is no such thing as a non commercial registration. The less than 3 trucks is an old thing that has expired.

From what I have been told, just wait the state is working out the bugs on how to enforce the regulations.
