blackdog2 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 My fathers 52 lj was almost 17000 # it was a single axel with a sleeper Quote Ed Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31107-how-heavy-is-she/#findComment-182401 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Shouldn't be any problem towing.Disconnect and remove the drive shaft between the first axle and the transmission. No need and cause any damage to the transmission. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

stephenellis Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 just to let you guys know that the truck is around 7.5 ton. the gross train weight is 6.1 ton. think I may chance my luck and pull her home. What's a few tons between friends?!? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31107-how-heavy-is-she/#findComment-182538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
