MrYenko posted:That's less of an air filter, and more of a turbo-chunks-filter. Yea to get to the engine the chunks would have to go straight up, then 90 degrees to a long pipe through another 90ish degrees down to the turbo chunks filter, back straight up then another long pipe and then 90ish degrees into the intake. I should be good in this cheap China turbo explosion experiment.

For someone not very familiar with 4wd failures how does the transfer case let go?

DogonCrook posted:For someone not very familiar with 4wd failures how does the transfer case let go? A couple different ways: Running 4WD on tarmac too much can cause the chain to snap, adding lift or bigger tires can overwhelm it and damage it, or failing to install longer drivelines to make up for lifting can drop the transfer case. Also: Exploding Universal joints. \/\/\/\/ Edit: drat IT! CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Sep 14, 2017 |

Also if the rear universal joint lets go at highway speed the transfer case mounts are not going to be happy about trying to hold 20lbs of driveshaft flailing wildly at 2-3k RPM.

Yeah i guess that all goes to poo poo really fast. My buddy dropped his driveshaft on the freeway a year or two ago and luckily he didnt have this or a pole vault happen so i was curious.

As with every other instance of that question, the answer is "multiply that $10 by a 750k production run". That's how much profit the company would have to eat.

On that truck I think the only place the transfer case is mounted is to the tailpiece of the transmission. And I think the rear driveshaft is a two-piece, so it may have been the failure of its support bearing that caused this particular failure.

I'm always reminded of the line from Fight Club: "Take the number of vehicles in the field, A, multiply by the probable rate of failure, B, multiply by the average out-of-court settlement, C. A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

Cojawfee posted:Just add 20 dollars to the base price of the car. Problem is 99.9% of the population wouldn't know what a driveshaft loop is so it adds very little marginal value. Spending $20 on a heated cup holder would appeal to a lot more people. It's like automatic transmissions. If they would toss $50 worth of better parts they would last twice as long. But why bother from their perspective.

BlackMK4 posted:I haven't touched too many cars that didn't come with one. Have you dealt with any that were live axle with a one-piece driveshaft? Most vehicles that could use one but don't have one fall into that category. Once you add IRS, it's pretty easy to add just about anything underneath the driveshaft to keep it from falling down since the driveshaft won't be moving up and down as part of normal operation.

i bought this to compliment Air Intake Chrome Open To Cone Air Filter due to Fact Spiral Wind flow is so much Better to Laminar Wind flow The blade makes the air spin internally and its good

Too bad that's not how air works. If the blades were fixed then yes you'd get some vortex. But this thing being sold does not have fixed blades.

Happened to a friend of mine a few years ago with an old S10 he had to drive for his job. He was extremely fortunate that it was the rearward joint that let go, and the shaft stayed with the truck rather than go tumbling out into expressway traffic. Given the obvious ignorance/negligence involved, it's a miracle it wasn't worse:    Notice the clear impressions the flailing shaft made on both the muffler and the fuel tank shield:  We ended up having to get a new driveshaft made for it since no junkyard I called kept any on hand because they're all bent from the fork lifts moving the trucks in and around the yard.

Stupid people can't think about the fact that a $20 googaw that could perform as claimed would clearly already be installed by the manufacturer...
