runaway parents Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 While looking a my gage cluster in the dash I noticed a rear air bag pressure indicator . Noticed it fluctuates up and down depend on load and road conditions. Question is. Is there a way of using this info to calculate how much weight I am carrying?

Darryl&Rita Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Some gauges are calibrated to read in thousands of pounds load. Otherwise, known weights, a loader to move them around, and some time. I have been wrong before, I'll probably be wrong again. 2000 Kenworth T 2000 w/N-14 and 10 speed Gen1 Autoshift, deck built by Star Fabrication 2006 smart fourtwo cdi cabriolet 2007 32.5' Fleetwood QuantumPlease e-mail us here.

Moresmoke Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 It is useful to know if you run heavier weights. Unfortunately the pressures that most on this forum run are so low it is hard to read on the gauge you have. Back when I ran a grain hauler for awhile, you figured out pretty quick where the needles had to be when loading. Could be within 1000 lbs each load easily. Too much slop in the gauges to do much better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
