OK, I just got off the Cat Scales in Battle Creek Mi. 02 F-350, SRW, CC,4X4, 7.3PSD, auto. 5er is a 1997 30ft Wildwood. Steering axle 4980, drive 4580, trailer axle 6740. Why is my steering weighing more than my drive axle? DW and myself, and 1/2 tank of fuel. Can somebody explain this to me.
That's an easy question. You are pulling a light trailer. 8500# for a fifth wheel is light. Your pin wt is probably 1500-1700#. Not a whole lot. Ram-guy is also correct; diesel motors are heavy! Takes a lot of pin wt to even it out!
