Nothing that can be bought. It was custom built for that truck.

Hard to say. Some folks (myself included) use different page settings and on my screen, there are only 4 pages in this thread. Best to use post number located at the top right as those are consistant no matter what the page settings are.

Care to estimate how heavy the tajmahal weighs? My M275A2 pulled my empty M146 without issues. Would run 60 all day if you let it. I don't think you will have any issues running 55. Heck, I could run 55 towing the heavy arse M447C

Probably will weigh around 10k lbs when all done and loaded,but then 11-20's going on will kill some bottom end, its a good runner though and i will turn up the fuel!

Ray is the fifth wheel plate lower on the deuce than on the five ton? Just wondering if it would ride more level behind the deuce.

Yes,but only by a couple of inches. I Plan on 11-20's on the trailer too.

I have 11.00-20 XL's on my M109A2 and i can do 59 MPH @ 2500 RPM. I may need to adjust since my petal is maxed out @ 2500. Are you going to run singles or doubles on the rear axles?

Since ODdave quoted me in his post I accepted that he was "talking" to me.
