06 vision busted frame


Recommended Posts

06 Mack Vision. Just got it. Feels like the rear end is loose. Wonder why? The white on the frame is grime from hauling ag lime from the quarry. The detail shop painted it with with some nice thick black paint. There was paint behind the broken cross members.  When I washed it the crack disappeared. That's why I didn't see it when I got it. Started fixing Saturday Hope to have it done today.  Don't sound like we are getting any help from the dealer.

There will be bolts on all 4 corners. Hopefully to keep that from happening.

Same as ranchhopper said, it WILL break from flexing unless you make the ends of the plate pointed. This keeps the frame from excessively twisting and flexing at one point, the vertical staight lines at the ends of your rectangle plate you repaired the frame with.

The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.

The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

I talked to some frame guys and apparently since the plate is bolted in NOT welded its not suppose to break on the ends. Being bolted its still suppose to allow it to flex. We will see. I have a sinking feeling this thing has a double frame in its future. No help from the dealer of course. Oh maybe we can get you a couple hundred bucks. Along with the busted frame and cross members I had to to a brake job and wheel seal. The U bolts that hold the front axle on were loose as hell just hanging there. In the process of the wheel seal found a bad bearing. 

 

There is no way this truck should have gone out the door the way it was. I cant name names yet. You can bet if they don't make it right you will know where it came from.
