Weighed the rig today

[HVAC2]

Numbers look reasonable, we were at 75 gallons of water not 100. Full on fuel at 35 gallons. Got her up to 210 for the first time. Long grade on i10 eastbound.

Next time have your gear show. Were you in 4th or 5th?

nice having such low trans temps.

Not sure. I had been at 64, slowed down for car ahead. Took picture as cruise resumed so its accelerating and downshifted. Thing pulls this load like nothing. Trans does run very cool.

That's 4th gear.

Short bed trucks only have a 31 gallon tank.

She's just starting to break a sweat at 17K GCW. 210° isn't a big deal and she'll push 217° in hotter weather or with a bigger load.

Thats what I thought 4th, 35 gallons fuel was in the trailer, it has a 5.5 onan gen mounted 8n the tongue. Good to know on 17k and I doubt she will see 217 with this load. Its as heavy as we will ever push it.

This rig have a stock transmission pan? Nice to below 170’. Installed the MagHytek Trans Pan and we never went over 172’ while towing the 5th wheel. We weighted at the CAT scale with full fuel and water, kids, wife and the dog. We were at 18420.

Stock pan. Towing yesterday from quartzite to Laughlin, some decent grades and temps in the lower 70s. Winds were light, trans never hit 160. But, I do have a slight fan noise and having it checked out Tuesday while getting first oil change at 7k miles.
