I believe there will be zero Torque on the Carrier bearing. That is why it is called the Carrier bearing. It just makes up for a difference in elevation. All your torque should be at the output shaft from the transmission and the input shaft to the rear end. Or i could be way off!
Joe Cummings what lateral forces. It's a driveshaft. If it's balanced it won't have any lateral forces. You really think the paper thin career bearing metal housing that the rubber is vulcanized to would hold any kind of forces in the first place.
Ya know, if'n it were my $dollar ... I'd do it 100% my way too. my mom would say it more like : 'mosses' dollar, 'mosses' way ... nuff said Thanks for the vijit...
@@Mad.Man.Marine that should have read radial Force,. And yes there is plenty of it whenever the universal joint is running out of angle . No, that carrier bearing is not made out of paper thin steel. I have some on my shelf and a few in my used driveshaft pile that I can measure, but just off the top of my head they are at least 1/8 inch
@@DirtPerfect this is true. However my thought is if during a turn off road. The drive shaft gets in an awackard position. It may max out the rubber. Then you could have breakage. The rubber is there primarily for taking out vibration. Just a thought buddy. Your truck your call. God bless
Yeah I agree, those things see a lot of side Force, or maybe I should say lateral Force. On a hard pull they're trying to move side to side, up and down, or any combination of those directions. That little stub cantilevered off the center of that tube is going to be a real weak point. Not to mention when there are up or down forces that cross tube is going to flex in torsion. Not trying to criticize you because it looks like you're doing really nice work, just giving you my opinion as a guy who has built a lot of these things
Obviously, there are other reasons, but I wish my Dad was still around. He did this stuff for a living, and would have most of the answers for you. Been trying to recall some of the stuff, but it's been some 30 plus years now. Grey matter ain't what it used to be.
Hello there. That trades person made a dam good job of that drive shaft. It was good to watch a guy apply his trade like that and with good youmer. We like people who you can have the crack with.
Mike, if you get a chance could you explain how the drop axle works, when to use it, when not to use it, etc. We don't have them in Australia and you've stirred my interest! Great content, keep it coming
I think the carrier bearing mount is more then strong enough! There should be no bind or pressure on it. A gusset wouldn’t hurt I guess but it would be over kill. This truck is going to be bad ass! Can’t wait to see it done!
Man has chains, Speed-Binders, and come-alongs! What does he do to move an Axle, his puts his back into! If he is not feeling it yet, he is going to be sore in the morning! Remember, Mike, no complaints about your back hurting! 😊😊😊
For those commenting on that bracket I believe DP has taken care of that by the use of a turboencabulator. The original machine had a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-deltoid type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible tremmie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters
Always turn your tape measure so you're measuring the same way from both ends, i.e. if the tip of the tape is against the frame rail on one side you should use the tip against the frame on the other side
If your planning on putting a dump body and actually working that truck. I would not think twice about double framing it from the back of front spring Hangers atleast to the front of tandems. I'd go all the way to the end where dump pivot is. Built several tractor conversion dumps with trash truck rears that are 60,000lb rubber suspension. The twisting and torque on rails and point pressure at the front of dump body are incredible. Just my opinion. Seen quite a few broken rails.
One of the things I respect most about you DP is you know what you don't know. You don't make things up you just say look for the information here or there. I'm enjoying the truck build and look forward to seeing it in future builds. Be safe and stay healthy everyone!
Looks good!. I did a round of u-joint angle research for my jeep and you nailed it about the angles matter a lot. I do enjoy your build videos. I rarely fast forward through them. These videos inspire me.
I’ve drove so many loaded triaxles off road and the excavation company used to stock drive lines on a shelf (cuz they has so many trucks ) all I ever saw was the tubing would rip apart . I mean yeah once in awhile a Carrier bearing would go bad but most of the time when a truck got stuck a guy would dump the clutch and rip the tube . One time I saw the weld on the tube cracked and no one could figure out why the truck wouldn’t move till they sat there and watched the tube spin on the yoke . If you think of it like a fuse the tube is the Weakest link
Getting it done fast cant believe how great it,s all going together MBTS is knocking that welding out fast. DP with all the engineering ideas good team
You guys are fun to watch. I trust you as the engineer. It is your truck and I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t add a bracket if you didn’t think it was safe. Great job!
Mike, I hope y'all have a video of Officer Hoover doing the final inspection. Love the build and the channel God bless y'all from south carolina viewer
Looks great 👍🏻 I trust you did measure from the center hubs on the front stear axle back to the center of the lift axle on both sides. She is going to be a brute.
