Hi all, took delivery of my new-to-me T800 last fall with a custom gravel body. Up till now it's been flawless, however I'm chasing an issue that...
Thanks for the reply. I was more concerned about the integrity of the aluminum housing with the trans hanging off it but sounds like it won't be...
Evening all, An opportunity came up to replace my tired 460E with a 525 that an individual near me had freshly rebuilt for a glider (he didn't...
I think it very much depends on the driver's condition. The friend I mentioned had a heart disease which caused the attack.
We had a family friend who holds his Class 1 have a heart attack about 2.5 years ago. The hospital doc informed him that his Class 1 would be...
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to see I'm not far off with my reasoning. Yep this is the truck with the repairs done to the torque arm mounts. So...
Interested in some feedback from other members here. I've had someone approach me to haul water for them offroad here in BC. They're wanting me...
Thanks for the replies guys. I went to our local shop who does most of the repairs in the area. Their lead fab guy looked at it and advised to...
Thanks for the reply. Called dealer and they suggested the same. Insert forward to the drivers at a minimum. We'll see what our local job shop has...
Correct me if in wrong, but I believe the frames are heat treated, not tempered. It they were tempered they'd shatter after a certain load point....
Thanks for the input. At this point I don't think there'd be any value in splicing the frame with a new one. I'd be introducing two different...
I hear you, and certainly value the input. I just don't see a way of doing it that won't potentially open up another can of worms. Kinda wish I'd...
Nope they're definitely steel, and there's no boltholes to "waller" out :D I've attached a screenshot. This isn't the exact crossmember, but the...
Following up on this. Installing an insert wouldn't be terrible, but it would be very hard to get it to extend past either of the crossmembers....
Thanks for the reply. Looking at the failures a little closer I feel the crack partially because of twisting, but mostly because the torque rod...
Wow....I'm an idiot. I didn't even think about them pushing outward.....good thing I didn't try to fix it today.... Thanks for the patience lol.
Thanks for the quick reply, I value your input! Any reason why inside? My thoughts with putting the flatbar on the outside was that the torque...
Going through doing some minor maintenance to my new-to-me truck during the off-season, and I notice that both sides of the frame have a single...
I'm not far from you. Up in Kelowna. The truck is a converted OTR tractor with a heavy single frame and steel box. The PO put in D46s, full...
Would help to know what area of Canada you're in. Very different demands from west to east coast. At the end of the day I think it's really going...
