tjc transport Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 tarped, in the road, and nothing on the ground behind the truck. the box was down on the frame when it broke. my bet is he was driving and hit a bump and it broke from way too many overloaded runs.

JoeH Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I got to a job with my 79 R686ST that was bouncing kinda funny on the drive. Got there, walked around the truck and found the right frame rail was split through bottom flange and the whole sidewall where it flare's around the trans. Was only holding on by the top flange! We cut it behind the cab and spliced a good front half on that side, been running it that way 5 or 6 years now!

Quickfarms Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 It's now slammed just like a low rider.Maybe he is going fora new look.It is kind of interesting that the cab is level, did the frame break under the cab?

JoeH Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Most stressed point is halfway between lift axle and steering axle. I've been told having your lift axle set with too much pressure will stress the frame. Need to support the load evenly. That's an impressive failure. I wonder if his lift axle was up or down. It's both now, lol ... Wonder how much off road site work this truck has seen. Overloaded and no lift axle on rough terrain.

Looks like the cab guard is actually bent up in the center from the cab.

fjh Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) We have an RD running in my area here that developed a crack in that area but was detected on a semi annual vehicle inspection and repaired before that disaster struck still going strong 8 years later not sure this truck will have the same second chance! 😥 Edited April 1, 2019 by fjh 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56467-never-did-that-before/#findComment-419559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeH Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 The only thing working to push that cab back is the engine. Frame looks like it cracked between the battery box and fuel tank, so rear cab mounts are lifting up while front pivots.
