Just remember in CA if you are towing anything the speed limit is 55 MPH. 

Correct.

Then you should have no problem.  I have a 2000 T2000 registered in CA as a motorhome and have never gotten a second look towing all over the state.  I’ve never gotten a second look running bobtail either, but I don’t do that as often.

thanks Chad for the info.

im registered as a Private Truck out of South Dakota Towing my 40' Toyhauler, doubt i would be bobtailing as were moving to portland. have our other vehicle that the wife is driving.

Where gonna be headed North out of northern Nevada to Portland Oregon in the next 6 months, what are the laws these days with NON-Carb truck, HDT a 1998 with a Detroit Series 60 12.7. ive heard alot of different info on this so i need to figure out my route long before we leave.

Thoughts?

Yes this is the "new improved updated" version from the triglide that most hated. If I can get a refund on this one, I'll just get the standard air ride pin like yours. I thought I was doing a good thing be getting the 5er more isolated from the HDT......

Lol... thats NOT improved... that reverse progress. hopefully you bought it on a credit card.

mines rated for 24k and when poking thru the manufacturers website i didnt see the exact model mine is. but again mine is pre lippert owning Trail-Air.

I had to move the 5er in the backyard and move some stuff this morning, so I had the wife shoot a video since the issue was obvious. There is no need to set up a video on the road.......and here is the money shot: http://vid293.photobucket.com/albums/mm58/crzyctr/20151003_110058_zpst3g5rwfv.mp4

 

This POS needs to go strait to the garbage can! I hope it's defective cause there's no way an engineer would design it this way!? WOnder how long my new B&W would last with all that monkey motion going on back there? No wonder the rubber pads were spit out of the base mount when I got home......

thats horrid. take it back to where you bought it and demand you money back.

looked at mine when i was home today (currently transisting to a brick and mortar home as my father recently had a stroke and cant be left alone anymore in addition to his alzheimers) and mine is a solid bottom plate.

no wonder your feeling it....

mines not the same model... mine is http://store.lci1.com/air-ride-pin-box-trailair

I have the new Trailair Flexair pinbox with a rigid hitch on the truck. The trailer ride seems fine as it always had other than when shifting gears or turning off the jake it feels like the trailer hits me from behind. Didn't have that with the Morryde box. I'm envisioning the lower jaw pivot flopping front/back like it's too loose.

thats really ODD. and you have the airbag inflated according to the directions?

my 5er i run the airbag a bit lower on air than the manual says because that i was a hair Nose up and the next bolt holes made the 5er nose down.. but i never

have gotten pushed by the 5er like your describing.

sounds like its time for a camera back there to see whats going on but since Trailair is now owed by Lippert (around 2007ish) ,id be checking all the bolts and

everything for any kind of play or a missing bushing or something. you SHOULDNT be getting "pushed" or "chunking" from that pinbox.

You shouldnt be seeing any chunking from the Trailair (provided you dont have a air ride 5th wheel hitch like the ET or similiar.)...

i got a solid mounted 4 way hitch on my volvo and the Trail-Air (came from the factory that way, granted my trail-air was made

before they got bought up in 2007ish) on my 5er and it rides beautiful. got a camera that looks right at it so i can see it whats going on going

down the road.

i got over 30k miles with my setup and ive left things in my bedroom on the counter (by accident) in the 5er that might have broke with the roads

in Utah, Wyoming on I-80 and they never moved a inch.
