Re: Equalizer Help-Cat Scale Weights Included
Need-A-Vacation wrote: Was your tt and truck bed loaded as it normally would be for a trip? Sounds like it was only you at the scale and not the whole family? TW- 980lbs TT- 7480lbs It looks like you could transfer another 200lbs to the front axle. How many links do you have under tension? Possibly try making the bars tighter by one link to see what the results are weight wise. Then if all good, you could add a washer and return the number of chain links back to the current amount. What model wdh do you have? If a round bar, are the bars fairly close to being parallel with the tt frame/tongue? If a trunion, make sure the bars angle are such that the bar end (at the hitch) clears the tt frame- more so an issue if a top mounted coupler, if a bottom mount coupler usually is ok. The model I have is the equalizer 14k with sway bars, no chains.I believe I have one more hole the bars can drop. I can raise them though. I have one more hole left to drop in my shank. It was only me at the weigh station, and I was not inside when they weighed it. Bed was loaded, with the exception of firewood. I placed level on both bars and they are level.312Views0likes0CommentsEqualizer Help-Cat Scale Weights Included
I'm trying to dial my WDH in on my 2014 Ram 2500. I am towing a 2016 Jayco 27BHS. Went to the scale as I heard that is the most accurate way to make adjustments. Here are my numbers: Truck: Steer Axle: 3980 Driver Axle: 3400 Gross: 7380 Trailer & Truck with WDH not engaged (bars hanging) Steer Axel: 3560 Drive Axel: 4800 Trailer Axel: 6500 Gross: 14860 Trailer & Truck with WDH Engaged: Steer Axel: 3780 Drive Axel: 4460 Trailer Axel: 6620 Gross: 14860 I currently have 6 washers in the WDH and I can go down one more slot on my shank. These weights were with a trailer loaded with water. I was not in the vehicle at the time it was weighed each time. Any help for this newbie would be greatly appreciated!1.4KViews0likes8Comments
