I genuinely thought they were mandatory like at 2000. Color me surprised.

They weren't mandatory in Canada until 2007.

2005 F-250s still didn't have them in Canada.

Lol my brother pisses and moans about tire prices for 20 inch wheels on his loving work truck, then when I suggest a better size like 18s with a much better and cheaper tire selection he says they don't look cool enough.

:ughh:

the funny thing is that i went TO 20 inch wheels for cheap tires because all the dudebros drive straight from the dealer to the tire shop to rip the stock tires off and throw on more aggressive tires. It's not hard to find brand new 275/65r20 take-offs under $500 a set.

Because they've been poorly engineering and making engines for so long.

Some computer probably did the math and determined they could save 18 cents on material and the engines would make it out of the warranty period.

Over payload on practically every diesel under a class 4 and every gasser under class 3.

My truck has a 8,800 gvwr and 5,800 curb weight. I could technically do it if i lost some weight myself, but even i would be hesitant knowing the springs and tires are old as poo poo.

Some people just give no thought to how things function and why.

I wonder if it failed from just the overload, or if the classic Taco frame rot helped it out.

Cool lack of anything keeping the load from shifting too

It was a team effort.

I don't think that frame has the full factory warranted strength anymore.

It's 2 frames welded together end to end. That means it's double the strength.

I got one of those and it's decent for doing the solder seal connectors but it has a short cord and isn't real portable.

In the video he shows when the engine broke free from the dyno, it revved to 12,000 rpm. The impeller rated for 65,000 rpm spun up to over 100,000.

Chlorine eats aluminum(cylinder heads) and rusts iron(block) quite quickly, espcially in the presence of heat.

I was working on a job out in the middle of nowhere where a bunch of people go camping. A couple parts of the road were washed out so the company put rig mats down to get trucks in and out. Campers still came in in cars and stuff on the weekend, and a VW jetta took out the oil pan on the edge of one of the rig mats. They parked in the middle of the road when the lights started flashing and ended up being pushed into the ditch with one of the company trucks.
