Popular Post rsb502 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2014 that whole axle out the back thing isnt as hard to do as you would imagine. First take a truck like a fire truck or armored military vehicle, build it on a medium duty chassis that has no centering pins for the springs,yes folks they just sit there no pins to keep em lined up like a steer axle on most of em. Next load the suspension to the max 24/7, like a fire truck full of water or an armored military vehicle, then never retorque the u bolts after its delivered, there is a torque spec and they are supposed to be retightened according to the maintenance schedule. I have heard "its a fire truck it doesnt have enough miles to be retorquing bolts yet" the key being it is "ALWAYS" loaded and "ALWAYS" used under what the axle and suspension manufacturers consider "extreme conditions". So you have springs and pads that have been compressed under load for years, maybe not many miles but still compressed, then when you use it drive it wide open and stop hard putting maximum strain on the stuff holding the axle in the truck. Guess what, occasionally, the compressed suspension pads and springs slide a little because since the u bolts were never re tporqued they only have half the clamp load on them, then you hit the brakes really hard that one time and go over a bump or thru a pothole and "POP". 3 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34689-super-trucker-saturday/page/13/#findComment-249545 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Here is a super Firefighter. Not sure how this happened. I'm open for guesses. after the brake test video, I think we know how they did it.

rsb502 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Ha, so follwing too closely never entered the mind of the idiot with the now concrete coated hood and did ya notice the slats they put on the gound for the lumber to sit on behind the flat bed. I had been told by an older guy around here they used tio unload lumber by pulling it to the back with a chain or something until it would tip, then just driving out from under it slow, never believed it till now.

41chevy Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I was curious to see if anyone saw the sleepers for the load. Oyster Bay Lumber did it this way all the time. Once in a while the truck would crack a spoke if the ground was soft and the truck bounced.
