Tow Rigs - Lets discuss (1 Viewer)

[lostinafog]

Hmm. I'm hearing conflicting stuff on the CDL issue then. I've been told that truck and trailer are not considered RV unless registered as RV (ie - motorhome or truck and travel trailer) and that CDL rules apply to anything not registered as RV. I may make some calls. My dad sold the trailer that I normally use and he won't let me use the new one because it is over 10,000lbs. I have a class B permit and just need to take my driving test. I've done air brakes, etc (although I wouldn't need them for this). The prob is that I no longer have access to a truck.

I'd like to eventually get a newer 5.9 and a gooseneck and don't want to get on the bad side of the law (I don't need them looking at anything anyway).

the rules do differ slightly from state to state BUT as long as you arn`t carrying someone else's sheet for hire CDL is not required.

that is why you see on some large tow rigs NOT FOR HIRE on the body

you get a CDL it then also applies to your personal car as well.
it is not STATE issued it is a federal one thought ya wanted to fly low

Hey Paul, what ratio does the f450 have in the rear end? I have heard they came with like 4.88s and 5.29s and such.

Looks nice for the price. It looks like a custom trailer or he cut the front area by the camper. I like how he has the rig stop bar to save the rig from hitting the camper.

Keep it simple, All Season Diesel has a cool kit for the Duramax that I want to get.

That's a huge pile of un-needed crap Larry. I hope you get the HP and mpg gains you are looking for.

I got to think not recycling all that exhaust soot back through the engine is going to make a better running and cleaner engine now I see I should have purchased the throttle valve where it removes the flap for the EGR system as well this one is caked with soot. If you need a hand I'm game to help I had to do this one in two nights it was in there tight.
