I own a 1982 S1954 Tandem axle truck that I purchased new. When I was using it daily, it ran at its design GVW of 48,000 lbs. I never like the rotary pump and changed it out for an inline pump. That made a difference. I didn't do anything else.

You have never seen slow until you attach a 20 ton tag loaded with a 40,000 lb Taylor forklift. There were some long hills on the Interstate where I had to downshift to 3rd gear on the 13 speed RoadRanger. Fortunately, I didn't have to haul the forklift much.
For the most part, the slow speed didn't bother me. The exception was in CT where the DOT liked to stop me and escort the truck to the scales. They always thought the truck was grossly overweight.
