Anyhow, here is my label info:
DANA # 140BN1095
SER# 253-D
MODEL # I 1405
RATIO 98210 (must be date code)
BB 1961606

Looks like mine was never changed. So I better:
1. Clean out bays and storage of excess inventory and tools.
2. Get rid of extra bay mounted water tank?
3. Keep my fuel tank max at 1/2 full.
4. Any other tips, owners?

Hey Morey,

Before you assume that your steer axle is limited to 14,600#s; look at the data placard above the windshield behind the rear view mirror. It may show that the front axle is rated at 15,500#s. BB may have upratded your front axle by replacing some of its components and changed the windshield placard but not the axle placard. I hope this is the case.

I hope Al's axle has been uprated by BB too as it may be expensive to replace the necessary components to get it uprated..
