Thanks a lot for sharing. Really interesting how thoughtful their design is. But this jerryrigeguy seems to have a split personality (or is he just an expert in triggering people and collecting clicks?). In the previous video he tears down the rear end with over 40kN and insists on how weak the...

My experience with adhesives comes out of the construction industry (facades out of steel, aluminum, HPL and so on) where the cross sections of the involved materials are most of the time way bigger than the adhesive surfaces. The expansion difference is therefore unavoidable as the youngs...

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion in the meantime, thinking about it. The adhesive just will transmit the 8000N of tension with ease between the parts, if the processing has proceeded properly. Nevertheless, a thicker layer of adhesive could significantly reduce the stress out of different...

But the shear strenght of the glue is not the bottle-neck in this case. It is the deformation. The 2m piece will be about 0.2mm shorter on each side. No problem, if the thickness of the glue is for example 1mm. The glue would have to absorb 11° of dislocation. If the thickness is 0.25mm, the...

10 mil = 0,254mm, isnt it? In my experience that is far too thin, when trying to bond full surface large, stiff panels to an also stiff substrate with a quite different expansion coefficient.

Do you know the material, the "steel substrate" is made of? If it has a significant different expansion coefficient than the SS trim, the glue will have to endure quite a bit of stress under extremely low temperatures. The glue will also get stiff at those temperatures. Of course such bondings...

You really dare to call yourself an engineer? ROFLMAO Just ask a real engineer in your community for help. Maybe he will explain it to you in more understandable words, that PLC was never off in this conversation.

I am not the wisest, but I am for sure a little wiser than you or mountainman. I am out of this conversation. Admin banned me for calling your sort by your name.

You did not watch until the end, where the CT draged the Silverado across the lot? Just imagine spinning wheels on the Silverado, to finally get the picture. So sad, that those morons in the video did not pump the brakes in the CT and let the silverado spin its tires on the spot. Intellectual...

Just look up my first comment in this thread. CT supremacy was never my point. Simple facts of physics are my point. But keep on denying them, if you feel fine with your stupidity.

God forbids, that some actual facts disturb your light entertainment fencesitting.

Again, dear deniers of education and physical facts: not if it is heavier and has great traction control. And because it is in the size of a halfton-truck, heavier than the ICE-trucks in this class and has a great traction control system, it is quite likely, that your BS talking dieseltrader...

So you think you deserve a civil discussion, although you continiue acting like a child? How often have I now pointed out AWD + full lockers? Six times? And you still play dumb. Get lost man. You are eighter too stubborn or too stupid to change your twisted interpretation of reality.

Although it may be hard for you: You should read the whole sentence, and not just the first few words. AWD, lockers, tug of war and so on... Sorry that I wont read through your how-to-for-dummies-articles completely. And I also dont want to learn how your stupid half- or fulltontruckmounted...

People like you or Mountainman dont understand, that it is totally irrelevant, if there is a dieselengine or an electric engine at the other side of the transmission. The limiting factor when pulling will always be the traction of the wheels. More weight, more traction. If the engine is 10 times...
