If you want to check the regen history and ECM history now, I could swing by if you want. That way you don't have to wait a week or so for Insite to get delivered to you.

It's been a while since I helped him out. I think he said it was $3,500 to stretch it and I think he was going to stretch it 3 feet. I could be completely wrong, just trying to remember through all that beer in my brain.

Why would anyone stretch the frame? I see the guys with 10 feet of frame rail and just shake my head. I know the west coast has some wacky bridge laws but on the east coast youre just asking for grief. I ran a 285 wb. W 900 and found more than one place I couldn't get into, there just wasn't enough room, period.

He was planning on stretching it because he is going to run flatbed. Because of that, he was going to get a rack installed on the back of the cab. Because of the rack, he would have to run the 5th wheel all the way to the back so the trailer would not run into the rack. This would also limit his adjustments for remaining legal with weights. He wasn't going to stretch it much. 2 or 3 feet I think was all he was planning.

I would rather have onboard weight scales to have the loader shift my load legal while at customer. Too much freight goes thru the American borders in tiny yards without much room to maneuver.
