Specifically the front axle? I have a M1088 and the GAWR is 11,328, only 400# above the unloaded weight. I know all of the various models specify a different GAWR on the passenger door data plate and I’d imagine it would be at, or above the 13,416# that I have found on an early M-1089. Does anyone know what GAWR the manufacturer assigned to the axle?

TIA,

Where did you get yours weighed? Mine is 9,200# on the front axle at a state DOT scale. I know I have stripped a few things off but I can't imagine it's >2,000# of stuff specifically from the front axle.

At a certified CAT scale. The configuration of my truck is significantly different than it came from SnS so the current weight is somewhat irrelevant, just wondering what the axle itself is rated for

What is the axle code? The LMTV has pretty puny axles so its probably a 12 or 13k axle from the size of it. They do not have adjustable 5th wheels so adding steer weight via a trailer isn't a problem.

I'm sure it's a RF 12-611. So 14k
