How in the gently caress can people get away with poo poo like this without poo poo ever breaking. Powershift posted:

there's two cinder blocks under the front prop, I have to think they've done this intentionally. Maybe they're hosing out the floor of the camper? But I can't figure out why it's still attached to the truck. e. oh maybe they're tryign to attach a different tow vehicle, and this one is super way too lifted

I'm not sure if I'd even expect the truck alone to keep up. Leperflesh posted:there's two cinder blocks under the front prop, I have to think they've done this intentionally.

Messadiah posted:my only thought is possibly for filming? Bike in the middle and equipment/cameras/people to the sides? Which might also explain why it is the way it is and shouldn't ever be driven on public roads? I doubt it would work for filming, it probably swivels too violently in turns. But after trying to GIS those pictures I've learned that "swivel wheel trailers" are a real product. Usually they are shorter ones with one or two swivel wheels, designed for carrying bikes or golf carts at the back of RVs.

what are lifted duallies good for, anyway? the things you'd use a dually for (loading the bed heavy, towing) seem like low truck things, and offroading i doubt you'd want to be that wide and long anyway. weird setup

Saukkis posted:If the wheels are on casters like it looks like that particular aspect isn't a problem. Son of a bitch. I think you may be right. That would fix it. Still a big butt to be swinging around corners, and they need to add a pivot to the wide ball mount for twisting along the x-axis. Leperflesh posted:There's a post with one caster wheel at the front of the trailer, for moving it around when it's not hitched up. It does not look like the rear wheels are on casters, or at least I can't see any evidence of that from the three photos posted. There's no axle, and the mounting point appears to be forward of the wheel, directly in front. Farmdizzle posted:The main wheels are on pivoting drag-style links. Look closer at the third pic - you can see a spring-loaded pivot sticking down just forward of the wheel (and the wheel itself is obviously not parallel to the frame of the trailer.) Yeah, on closer inspection, that looks to be the case, so not *quite* as stupid as it first appeared. wesleywillis posted:I don't give that many fucks, but why the gently caress is it so fuckin wide to tow what would appear to be one motorcycle? There is that, too. Elviscat posted:Suzuki SV650 generators really like to fail in exactly this manner. Kind of looking like maybe the other fan has failed as well. I've yet to see it get spinning faster than "lazily", and the wife said it's still getting warm after, say coming off the highway and idling through a drive-through. Ordered *that* fan, too. Just throwing more parts at it. I'm now thinking that the other fain mostly failing was what caused excessive heat and the big fan to operate more than intended in higher temps than intended, which f'd the epoxy for the magnets. Working theory, anyway. A piece of my Crown Vic decided it wanted a life separate from the car and threw itself into traffic at 80 MPH on the way home from work the other day:  Of *course* you can't just buy that one corner light assembly. Not in the aftermarket black, anyway. Factory all chrome, no problem, but that looks like rear end. Only $80 for two new headlights and corner lights in black, though (don't worry - the headlight reflectors themselves are still chrome!) Though I may upgrade to projectors this time...

I almost got some for the trio of office Suburbans at oldjob, the managers there insisted on getting those loving things even though they were a huge pain in the rear end to load stuff into and shot down my requests for minivans every time. But it's fedgov so if anyone saw me do it I'd get in amazing trouble. Might have been worth it.

X-posting from my thread cause it easily belongs here. The "7.3 reliable" 6.7 Powerstroke ate its 4th turbo in under 100k and almost number 5 in the same day. I pulled the inlet at the storage yard. the wheel is seized solid. Great it's a poo poo turbo or it's not getting oil. Either way, it needs to go away soon. The hotside of the turbo got so hot it is now pink.  Driving it a few blocks it lost almost a gallon of oil. It deposited it directly into the dpf. It smokes like all hell after about 15 mins of running. Turbo is clearly getting oil. We had planned to swap the turbo at a campsite some miles away from Nephi, UT. (Nee-phi otherwise they'll judge you if you ever decide to stop there) That didn't happen so I picked an open cement lot.  One hour fifteen minutes in, the turbo is out.  Compressor.  Turbine.  3 ish hours total, 4 from driving to driving. DPF was packed to north of 150% designed load. It threw a fit and went into immediate regen, smoking out the town. Some locals liked the sight, I abhorred it. It also threw the 'wrench' icon to take it in for a stationary regen. I like to think it means it's time to fix the 6.7 again.  60 miles later around 10 am pushing 95F, we decide on lunch. Pull in, walk around. Puddle. Big Puddle. From what looks to be the hot side. God loving Dammit This Mother loving Truck. The wrench icon was on the nose. This was right after I noticed it. It was about 3x as big after lunch.  Guy I bought the turbo from I guess decided to remove the second oil galley plug on the turbo's chra. I didn't bother to check because who does that sorta thing. Well it finished rattling out right as I parked the truck before I let it idle for 5 minutes. This engine has no oil pressure gauge. Just an idiot sender that the pcm reports a boolean on. It does not know oil level but it 'guesses' oil level. The dipstick is worse than useless.    2 quarts down. It almost ate its fifth turbo on the same day I put it in. Put the plug back in and other than the gargantuan mess it made of everything, it was fine. If you own one of these without a warranty, get loving rid of it asap. At this point I do not think there is anyway to fix this thing and maintain emissions compliance. It is excruciatingly hard on turbos when loaded. I am unwilling to test this theory.

    Possible thread coming as I work on this thing. Bought it last September and driving the 30 mins home, the brakes would scream every time I hit the pedal. Every rotor and pad was as bad as these and this one got the finger because it refused to come off. Fused onto the bearing hub because the piston gasket had split and leaked into the inside of the rotor hub, and then proceeded to spray like a Baby Cart movie when I managed to mule kick it off. Notice the gouges in the rear of the rotor where I smashed it with a hammer to get it to move. Also, tek screws to hold the rear bar on in multiple places after what looks like being backed into a pole.

Messadiah posted:Sorry what, please elaborate US trailers: Trailer hitch on a ball mount (usually), with chains to keep the trailer attached to the vehicle if the hitch pops off.  EU trailers: Trailer hitch on a ball mount (usually), with a panic line that fully activates the trailer's brakes (before shearing off) if the hitch pops off. I can't see why the US version wouldn't just leave you with an uncontrollable car because of the swinging trailer (if the safety chains are under tension) or an uncontrollable car because the trailer's rammed up against the back of your vehicle (if the safety chains are under "compression"). In the EU version, you at least separate the dangerous part of the system from the passengers. It doesn't seem like keeping the trailer from separating should be its own goal -- either way you've got a bunch of unexpected objects standing still in the middle of traffic, in the end.
