If I sat on my butt, I'd still have to bend over too far.I’d love to see yall bend over 2’3” and shoot!
not really, have several 450 and 550 that the frame breaks behind the cab and Dodges same weight class break the frame behind front wheels
That’s not the insurance / gov crumple zone bs is it ?
Funny you mention 450 550 and dog dodge and ford. Chevy isn’t even a consideration for those sizes for anyone that uses the truck
Google Image search results:
The crush/crumple zones are not insurance mandated, the government mandates safety standards. They are designed to manage the energy of a collision to keep it out of the passenger compartment. There would be no reason to have a crush zone behind the cab or behind the front suspension.
All of the frame failures I have looked at were on trucks with 5th wheel hitches, huge campers, or trucks with big lift kits. All of the frames on all of the trucks were designed by some pencil necked geek that drives a Prius. They are designed to meet minimum strength requirements while being as light as possible.
There is virtually no difference between American trucks. They are all garbage and all have the same issues. It's too bad Toyota doesn't make big trucks. Toyota is the best truck on the road right now. Toyota trucks have around 60% American made parts in them, while Ford only has 30% of the parts made in America.
GM frames tend to buckle right behind the front suspension crossmember.
The Dodge frames are failing where the front leaf spring hanger mounts and at the rear cab mounts.
The Ford frame is the worst on the road right now.
Must be an old truck, Ford stopped using leafs up front a long time ago.
04 they stopped. Except for 05 excursion or whoever they stopped making tjem
Why you gotta post about me and your mom like that, it’s true but still rude!
She said you got a little wiener, it’s more of a clit really.
I've fixed quite a few excavators over the years that were worn that bad, and several where the owner kept putting new pins in until the boss wore completely through.
That arm might need a bushing installed. Just sayin’…
Yeah, along with new pins and bosses too. Those are toast, the whole 9 yards... boom, bucket, h-link and dog bones they're are all shot....
