Ralph,

When we had our 5 leaf pack installed by Lew and his team at Alcan it took them approx 2.5 hrs and the team did a great job. We got there first thing in morning and all of my expectations were ✅ off. It was worth every cent to have it done professionally and done right. We dropped off our Oliver and went and had an excellent breakfast in Grand Junction at Cafe Sol, gotta go hungry! 😋

We actually camped here the night before- https://koa.com/campgrounds/grand-junction/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=gbp maybe 15-20 min from Alcan with traffic. 

Cafe Sol…we ate here during our 2023 trip and again as noted in 24 while having the 5 leaf pack installed. Great coffee and we let the forks fly!! 😄

Thanks for all the information!  I just booked at the KOA and plan to have breakfast at the same cafe.  It appears we can drop off the trailer in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon.  We plan to stay at the KOA for four nights and explore the area.  Do you have any must sees there in the area?

Another good option in the Grand Junction area is James M Robb State Park in Fruita, just outside (west) of Grand Junction.  It’s also just a couple of miles outside of Colorado Monument, a must see if you are in the area.  Mike

We would highly recommend Colorado National Monument (beautiful) as @MIkeandCarol mentioned and we drove through Grand Mesa National Forest. We enjoyed Powder Horn and took the ski lift to the top of the mountain and had lunch there. Ski lifts are fun!

We also drove out to the (4) corners…meh…it was ok. The KOA in GJ was close and convenient to Alcan so we opted to camp there. You certainly could stay at James M Robb, but you will need to do some research and see if they have availability. They did not have openings when we scheduled with Alcan.

IF your Axle Decal looks like this one, You may want to read the rest of the below.  

  

From what I can figure out, Red Neck Trailers was “Integrated” into Nuera Trans which was “Hoovered Up” into Dexter.  The original Red Neck Trailers is still in business as is Nuera Trans.  All flying the Dexter flag.

As clearly printed on a Dexter Label, they were made by NUERA TRANS likely in Cookeville Tn.   So don’t waste your time calling Dexter for a "Build Sheet".  The correct terminology is to request the Configuration Info associated with 6339056.  The Dexter Customer Service could not pull up this info.  So instead, call this knowledgeable contact that has been in her job with all three name changes:: 

 

Christy Gillentine | CSR

Dexter Distribution Group

christy.gillentine@dextergroup.com

direct tel:: (931) 739-4034

 An alternate would be Denise Ameling via E-mail:    <denise.ameling@dextergroup.com>

 Please keep in mind that these contacts are ONLY for NURA TRANS labels axels.  If your label is not like the one above, the regular Dexter Customer Service is by far the way to get your axle info.

 The Nuera Trans Axles (I.E.  Really Red Neck Trailer axles that were sold under the Nuera name) were purchased without springs.  The springs were sent to them for assembly.  They are the Chinese made PR4B springs.  Christi stated that if the springs are flattening out, then they were undersized for the application.  After they flatten out, then they generally fail as was originally reported on our thread.  She stated that the PR4 springs with their thicker steel (2,400 pound rated) would be a better choice. 

 Here is the CONFIG INFO for this Config Number for my rear axle on Hull 342.  If you have the same number on yours, here it is: 

Note it states “No Springs, Calculate Leaf Spring Capacity”.

John,

 

Our stickers look almost the same with (Hull 293) the 6339056 number listed.   Just checking to see if you happen to notice that the numbers etched on the Axle tubes are exactly the same.  Sadly, I was not able to secure both stickers as the trailer has traveled many miles and I was lucky to get the one.   I did take your advice on writing the Nuera contact to see if I could get a configuration listing and perhaps an answer to the dual L/N numbers on both axles.   

Thanks again for all your input.

About 99.9% of the time yes.  However one owner's was not.  I believe one of his axles had been replaced before his ownership.  

So if you are the only owner, then you would most likely be about 99.9% yes.
