This spring I replaced all the brake backing plates on my Loadmax 14k Gooseneck. 3 of the 4 have done great, but I have one brake backing plate that continually seems to keep heating up. I have adjusted them all the same and re-did the wiring to the suspect backing plate. I replaced all of...

I am in the process of installing new brake plate assemblies on my 2008 LoadMax 14k gooseneck. It has AL-KO axles. I bought AL-KO 2" x 12" replacement brake plate assemblies from Southwest Wheel for all 4 locations. Then install has went pretty well. When I look at the instructions online...

I've got an '05 K2500 Duramax/Allsion CCSB. I pull a 25' LoadMax 14k lb gooseneck trailer. I mainly haul a 8500lb pulling truck. With my '05, I have the pulling truck backup up on the triailer which reduces pin weight to keep the ride bearable. I have ride-rite air bags, Rancho RS9000XL...

I have an '08 Loadmax 14k lb 25' gooseneck. It has the original Freestyle tires on it. Last night I blew the sidewall out of one of them. After reading, it seems like 5 years is the limit (or over the limit) for the life of ST trailer tires. I am going to replace them. I thought I remember...

Well, after reading on here, I purchased the MaxBrake Trailer brake controller. I used it last weekend pulling a gooseneck with my pulling truck on it. The trailer and truck come to about 13k lbs. I would have to say that the MaxBrake controller worked flawlessly. I was amazed at how smooth...

I've never actually weighed my axles before, but figured I should. I think they look good, but figured I'd share and see if anything looks goofy. 2005 K2500 Duramax/Allison Crew Cab Short Bed. 2008 Load Max 25' 14k lb Gooseneck trailer. (approx wt - 5000lbs) Cargo: 8000 lb pulling truck Here...

I blew the rod end seal on one of the lift cylinders on my 530B. It's a 2" cylinder with 1.25" rod. The rod end cap is a smooth cap with two blind holes that are parallel with the rod. It appreas that there must be a tool that needs to go into these holes to unscrew the cap. I have read...

I bought a Hayes G2 brake controller. The controller doesn't seem sense the deacceration of the truck. I don't even feel like it is doing anything. I have an '05 Duramax with the Allison transmission. The truck does a sort of a downshift deal in the tow/haul mode to slow down. I don't brake...

I just started pulling a 25' Loadmax 14K gooseneck trailer with my '05 Duramax Crew cab short bed. I pull an 8000lb pickup on the trailer. Last weekend was my first weekend pulling this setup. I noticed a lot of for aft jerking when hitting bumps in the road or on rough roads. Is this...

Yesterday I was bringing home a new to me 20+5 tandem single gooseneck trailer (2008 Load Max). Trailer pulled very nice. One issue though. I got on I35 south of Minneapolis and there were sections of the road that if I was going faster than 64 MPH the back of the truck would start to bounce...

Guys what do you think an '04 PJ goosenenck trailer should go for? it's a 20' flat with 5' beavertarl (dovetail for some :D) Tandem 7000# axles with electric brakes. 3 flip over ramps, dual jacks on the front. Light use and in good shape. Thanks

Guys, I am in the market for a deck over goosenenck trailer. I am going to use it to pull an 8500 lb pulling truck. I found an 18' + 5' beavertail, flip up ramps, tandem axle (7000 lb each w/brakes). Its a 1997 Mustang gooneneck. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Guy wants $3500 for it. I...

I am looking to purchase a tractor for light use on my acreage. I have found a 1952? MH 44. The tractor currently does not have power steering, ad says its "Armstrong" steering :) He says if he has a bale on the back, it steers pretty easy, but if there's a load in the bucket, you've got...

I would like to build a 40 x 60 pole building. The problem is I don't have any flat land where I would like to put it. The land slopes towards a ravine. In the 40 feet, it drops approximately 6 feet. What are my options for dealing with the slope? Can I build up or should I put in a...
