Rob,

Questions for the GMC Brain Trust:

1) Did GMC actually do anything to the suspension system to up the GAWR and GVWR or just "pencil whip it?"

2) Does my supposition about not having the wheels centered on the scales hold water?

3) Does anyone think there is anything to be gained by weighing the individual axles one by one?

4) Since this is cheap to do I think I'll try it again with both Helen and I in the coach and the wheels as close to the center of
the scales as I can get them when I do the side weights. I don't like the 580 front differential; that delta would drop with both of
us in the seats and it would be what it REALLY is.




On question #3.

The Load-Cell scales in use are calibrated and certified to read the load with negligible percent variation, (in another word, I wouldn't worry about it) at any point (location) on that platform.

Where I work, I have watched the process of scale calibration many times.

FWIW
