96080 发表于 2019-11-13 11:22:13 I can only explain it better by saying, it's a 18 wheeled COMPUTER. Put it on a 3 tier CAT SCALE. No more than 12,000 on steers. No more than 34,000 on Drives or Trailer. If set-up properly, the COMPUTER will learn that your within tolerance of weight distribution. Then it will start running properly.

","text":"It won't know how much you have on trailer but it will know how much air is on the airbags for the truck. So, if your overweight on the trailer by  that much, the computer will not know,  but you gotta weird load that needs a permit to be leagal.","replyToPid":250416}

","text":"Nope. You’re quite wrong. It reads the airbag pressure?!where do you get this stuff?! I’ve seen your type many times. Living in a make believe world where their equipment is James Bond stuff. Reality.....your truck is like every other one. And it produces a certain amount of power regardless of what your pulling.

","text":"A weird load? Are you aware that you can scale up to 40,000 lbs on a 10’1” spread tandem trailer? So you’re saying that hauling 80,000 at 12, 34, 34 it would work one way but if you loaded the same load farther back on trailer it would work different? I get weary with trucker BS.

","text":"OK, I bow to your divine knowledge. You seem to know way more about about Electronics than I. But I was just simply trying to help the lady get along till she could get to a shop. Weight distribution matters. Besides, driving is my other job. Writing code was my main job.","replyToPid":250710}

","text":"I didn't say that. I am aware different trailers distribute weight differently on the trailer axles. But that doesn't mean your going over on your drives. I was using those weights as an example of weight distribution in proportion to  standard Tandem setups for 80,000. You don't have to get all angry at a guy for trying to explain that weight distribution matters to electronics.","replyToPid":250713}

","text":"I do believe your Western Star has a little radar thing in the front and if it gets a certain distance from any type of object it will reduce speed from the cruise control I'm pretty sure that's what's happening it's like the new cars that have the auto-sensing speed control","replyToPid":248083}
