ExplodingSims posted:Why would it fold like that anyways? I know they were expecting it flip end over end, but is the frame really that weak? It looks like there is another line attached to the back of the truck. They probably attached two lines, one to the front and one to the back (for unknown reasons), but the line attached to the rear had more slack and thus didn't do poo poo, and what's more the back of the cab got hung up on the ice at the edge of the hole while the bed slid right over it. Basically they hosed up in like 3 different ways, but most egregiously by not realizing that the cab is taller than the bed and will get hung up on the edge of the hole.

Are the front wheels not attached to the frame on that truck then?

More amusing than horrible, but: I had a '97 Mazda 323P which I ended up giving my brother for free, fully expecting it to fail inspections at any moment. So far it's refused to die, so it sits as their second car. It has the usual Mazda rust, so today I receive a text saying "mazda has been sitting all summer. changed the battery and went on a shakedown run. this fell off. any idea?"    I hazily recall that particular shape being related to the exhaust somehow. At any rate, I don't think that particular component makes much difference whether it's on the car or not. Mazda 323P for reference. I miss you, you rusty little bugger. You hauled everything I asked, started every time I asked, and didn't kill me even though I drove you through the worst winter on record on crappy beat up all seasons with next to no traction.

Well - they are loading the frame in exactly the opposite direction in which its engineered to take stress. Couple that with some pre-existing rust damage and cruncho.

The Museum of Flight has the CIA version of the SR71 along with a prototype drone. I don't know what's at The Future of Flight museum, but that's the one that takes you on a tour of the Boeing factory. edit: Lockheed A-12 Kia Soul Enthusias fucked around with this message at 08:15 on Aug 15, 2014 |

No. 6 posted:Remember to position your loads directly over your axles boys. No, you aren't allowed to do that, your load has to be fairly evenly distributed, especially for loads that get anywhere near maximum axle weight, the limit to most of those trailers is road pressure ratings from the DOT not the strength of the trailer. That's actually pretty impressive, I've seen some crazy heavy special loads bend one of those trailers, but never seen one snap.

Yeah, that load looks like it was centered reasonably well, which is standard procedure. I just want to know what the load was to do that(or what the failure was to make it snap). Those trailers are built with an upward bow in them specifically to prevent sagging and the stress-induced failures from such, so unless that was an incredibly old and overworked trailer I can't see any good reason for this to have happened.

You would be surprised at the number of poorly maintained, falling apart trucks/trailers there are running around on the roads. I've seen a trailer i-beam crack just from loading up equipment. We unloaded it and told the trucking company to send us another trailer, and they did, and the wood deck fell through. I guarantee you that thing was either damaged in the past and not repaired properly, or rusted most of the way through the frame. That looks like a poo poo load of metal, and I bet it was heavier than what they normally carried, so when it hit a bump hard enough, it folded like a lawn chair.

I've seen a trailer i-beam crack just from loading up equipment. We unloaded it and told the trucking company to send us another trailer, and they did, and the wood deck fell through. Oh, I know. I've driven two semis that were mechanical failures in their own right. Seriously, one truck had more poo poo break in 3 months than everything on every car I've been around has since I started driving. Still, I'd think that the flatbeds would be built a bit stronger since those get used for oversize loads most often and making all of them up to the task is cheaper in an economy of scale way. That said, I'd put my money on rusted through. Straight up frame failures seems like something that would be really difficult if it wasn't weakened somehow in the first place.

Sagebrush posted:Get a mechanical vernier caliper, never have to worry about dead batteries or wrong readings, and stop fooling yourself with more accuracy than your hands are actually capable of to boot I do all the calibration for all the metrology devices in the shop and I much prefer dial calipers and vernier scale mics with a ratchet because most of the time taking them apart and cleaning them out fixes whatever is making them read out of tolerance. It's pretty rare that the actual mechanism in a set of dial calipers actually fails. Electric ones, especially the cheap ones most of our operators end up buying break all the time and there really isn't much you can do

Looks like the pressure in my exhaust was too much for the resonator again... The welding was a previous dodge attempt to fill cracks that appeared in it but I think its done this time.

No, looks more like the lovely attempt to mate the two sizes was inadequate to withstand the bending and vibration. I'd go back and check all your exhaust hangers and make sure the exhaust is well supported and constrained. I'd also put in a proper reducer section rather than whatever the hell was done with that to make it fit. No way, no how was that anything to do with exhaust pressure.

It's going into the shop tomorrow and I'll ask them to check the supports and about a proper reducer. Thankfully not going back to the shop that did the exhaust and turbo upgrade. Those fuckers cut corners everywhere apparently marking me for the rube I am.
