Stopped at weight station ROUND 2-Need advice
I am so lucky to have a Indiana weigh station so close to me that I use there scales when there closed as they leave them turned on..
I am still in attempt to fine tune my Equalizer system and get it PERFECT. Its towing pretty good, no sway. I have one complaint and I not sure I can even eliminate it. I tow between 60 and 65mph, and when most all vehicles pass by me on the highway, I can feel the push pull effect. Sometimes, I can even feel it when a car blows by me at 80mph. Definitely can feel it when SUVs and trucks blow by me, and feel it when semis blow by me. Its not much of a problem, just wondering if I can entirely eliminate the push pull effect. It doesn't cause sway, just makes me pay more attention when towing.
My towing weights are listed as below, fully loaded with firewood in bed of truck. It seems to me my adjustments I made to my Equalizer made it transfer and restore all my front axle weights except 180 #s. Is this sufficient or do I need to restore the additional 180#s also if that's even possible...?? I am towing trailer slightly nose down, and all my measurements are showing what they should.
Tow vehicle is 2007 GMC 2500HD,CC, Gas job 6.0, with 4.10s.
Trailer is 2014 Keystone Hideout 27DBS. Trailer weighs between 7,000 and 7,200 pounds depending on how much we pack for each outing.
Truck empty: Front Axle-3600#, rear axle-3440# Total weight-7040#
Combo WITHOUT Equalizer E4 hooked up: Front Axle-3220#,
Rear Axle-4860#, Trailer Axle-6,180#, Total-14,260#
Combo WITH Equalizer E4 hooked up: Front Axle-3420#, Rear Axle-4540, Trailer Axle-6280#, Total-14,240#
Please Let me know what else need to be done, or are my numbers perfect?
Thanks a lot!
