Another thing that I believe is being glossed over by the source material is that the vertical web's job is to keep the top and bottom flanges connected together and spaced apart correctly. The top and bottom flanges in a beam are where most of the strength is, but without the vertical web under compression in between them they're just two flat bars flapping around. And the taller the vertical web is, the further apart the top and bottom flanges are which results in them having more effect on stiffness for the same material cross sectional area. I'm not a structural engineer though, so at this point I'm going to shut up and let people who are tell me I'm right or wrong.

Somehow I forgot that you had just slam dunked it in there with the sellers clutch assembly on it rather than swapping yours over, so that was mildly confusing till I scrolled back and read that you just checked the condition on the new one.

OA will absolutely do that, but even MIG welding a big heavy rear end channel or box tube vertically to the frame across the entire web is going to create a hell of a stress riser and it will in fact rise the stress and snap the frame in half after it's been cycled enough to metal fatigue. That's not even taking into account any corrosion resulting from improper recoating of the welded area flaking off (or worse, cold lap leaving a nice little pocket between the weld bead and the frame rail for water to fester in, causing concentration cell corrosion), extra stress from an undercut on the weld, etc etc.

knox_harrington posted:Is the problem the metallurgical effects of the weld or the frame loading? Yes (it's both) The problem is twofold, one, they've weakened the frame exactly at that point by their efforts, and two, they have likely effectively stiffened the frame from there back by permanently attaching their own heavy duty steel framework to it to make it wider and a flatter surface to mount a nice structural RV envelope to without it flexing like most RVs, resulting in it being a very stiff frame attached by a weak point to a length of weaker frame, which will concentrate stress on the exact spot where they weakened it. The RV is very nice I'm sure but the front half of the chassis is snapping off because of it. Like CSB said, they should have built their RV envelope however they wanted and attached it to the truck frame using approved methods such as oak pads and spring bolts, etc etc etc.

Hoping my "heat shield noises" aren't like your "belt noises" at this point  Still can't believe the number of activities you pack into such a small living space either.

You may be in gold and silver prospecting territory but you are not supposed to find it in your transmission, just saying.

Comedy option: 3d scan everything around the frame and CAD + build a new one out of 4x8 3/8 wall box tube that fits everything you want including a real transmission

The next thing is literally everyone leaves town when they turn 18 and industry craters and all the olds go  NO ONE WANTS TO WORK ANYMORE WHY IS OUR TOWN DYING The *average* age of the town residents in the town where I rent the hangar is like 65. They don't want anything to ever change and vote down literally anything. There is no industry of note, no good internet service, nothing but a bunch of falling down farms and trailers with decrepit fudds living in them. A fair number of them are still cranky about the airport even being built and that was around 75 years ago.

Hey, this is the worst idea in the goddamn world, but wanna take a field trip to Abbotsford with me for, uh, reasons, and then meet CSB for, uh, other reasons?

I'm still amazed by how loving bad that allegedly better 6.7 was, and feel bad for abetting its purchase. Christ, what a bad decision, in hindsight.
