I had the top of the van body swaying a good foot either direction and found the box moving on the frame rails just behind the cab (I think an extra set of u-bolts will remedy that problem). A lot of other stuff too... drag link, spring bushings, fan shroud rattles, rear axle u-bolts loose).
I'm learning the value of a good come-a-long and spud bar for changing suspension bushings... Someone welded in a solid tail on a dump truck but boxed in the torsion bars on the rear axle doing it. Had to unhook everything and roll the axle forward to get access. Also bent my favorite ratchet in the process (Now if only our Snap-On dealer could warranty things... Oh' well, we're supposed to have a new dealer next month).
Went on a road call on Saturday to the Best Western where I found this. Focus on what's not in this picture!
Some one stole the DPF's out of 2 Penske trucks parked overnight. Driver asked me if they'd let them across the border... Uh' no.
Uh-oh...that's going to be expensive.
ReplyDeleteI need a demo of the VIS sometime...Jeff has talked about it but I have never seen it work.
