Seat Safety Switch posted:Someone forgot to bolt the frame mounts back on. The bed does look lifted, it makes me wonder if this was the result of a poorly installed body lift. The truck itself isn't even close to the rustiest chevy I have seen of that generation. In fact its pretty clean.

Cool thing is if it were a Ford 6.0/6.4/etc. you could replace an air filter.

Darchangel posted:Jalopnik has a third picture that shows some damage to the left rear of the bed, but is just as confused as I am how it actually went down. I'm guessing the body fell down from the mounts, the wheel wells dropped onto the front wheels and the tires had enough grip from the force of the body going down to judo throw the whole thing over.

That sounds... like a reasonable explination actually, similar to those awful open wheel crashes where wheels hookup and toss one car violently in the air. The body has a fairly high center of mass, it's moving forward, hits the motor and the wheels, wheels push up and forward on the firewall and fwoop goes the front half. I propose testing.

I read another local article yesterday. She said the wheel started shaking and she lost control and hit that pole in the background and knocked it over. It doesnt look like it but it rolled too. My guess is that raising the body made snapping those bolts easier than normal. Probably puts more leverage on it. It also looks like she hit the pole sideways right where the bed meets the cab so it probably started the roll with a busted mount.

Colostomy Bag posted:What year did Ford finally realize that cab off procedures were necessary and made things easier? Supposedly the 6.7L Scorpions are better. So, 2011ish-on? They still have turbo failures, radiator failures, and EGR cooler again, but the EGR cooler is easier to replace, and most people delete it anyways.

I was searching through my older videos when I found this recording of a test with a glass case schock absorber. This is a demonstrator for a single tube Schock absorber (the ones that can be mounted upside down) to demonstrate the risk of cavitation in case of worn out internal seals and loss of gas pressure . For this demonstration the gas reservoir at the bottom was depressurized, which means that the pressure in all 3 Chambers of the Schock absorber is only atmospheric pressure under static conditions. You can see that the clear oil turns foggy when a chamber is increasing in volume and you can see a cavity appearing and disappearing in the top chamber. These bubbles are cavitation bubbles that will reduce the amount of dampening force the Schock absorber can produce during a stroke, rendering it ineffective. Under normal conditions the high pressure reservoir below the free floating lower piston would create a static pressure, according to the gas filling below,inside all 3 Chambers which would prevent the liquids from cavitating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS9jS33w0W0 Combat Theory fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Sep 30, 2017 |

Colostomy Bag posted:What year did Ford finally realize that cab off procedures were necessary and made things easier? 05. 03-04s put the failure prone injector control pressure sensor and injector pressure regulator on the back of the engine on a cab not designed to easily come off  That's the bell housing below, turbo up-pipes above, and heat shields all around. Step 2 in troubleshooting is to throw the truck out and get a better one. 05+ even though the cab comes off the ICP is on the front of the valve cover. with the 6.7 they moved a bunch more stuff up to the top of the engine bay for easier servicing, but a lot of stuff is still cab-off. Seriously look under the hood of a 6.7 if you get a chance.  If someone offers you a free 03-04 6.0 super duty, kick them in the nuts and take their wallet. The guy from powerstrokehelp.com says the 6.7s are pretty reliable as long as they're not tuned to the tits. There was a bad batch of early ones with lovely fuel pumps and a group of crank castings that randomly snap in half, but most seem extremely reliable. He even says they don't bother taking the DPF system off because it's not a problem. The new 6.7s make more torque than a veyron. The famous 855(14 liter) big cam cummins was only 400hp, 1150ft/lbs. The current 6.7 is 440hp, 925ft/lbs Powershift fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Sep 30, 2017 |
