3 weeks ago, I put 20, 80lb bags (1600lbs) of concrete in my truck. Plus the 150-200lbs my tool box adds. I didnt snap a leaf spring. as a matter of fact, It didnt even squeak.

Quit justifying the ugly unibodies, shoulda bought a oval.

 

weak sauce!!!!

 

no kiddin. my truck is 16 years old and just reached 270000 miles

i had about 900lbs in the bed of my truck. that was water softener salt, cement, wood, screws/nails, and drywall mud. the springs never snapped but they did squeak a little bit. and thats not including the 300lbs guy we made sit back there

It is a amazing what Casper runs around and does to fleet trucks, nobody that drives them ever knows what happened. It is either "it was like that when I left" or "it worked fine when I drove it". I don't care what brand, it happens to all of them, they can all be broken if someone tries hard enough... and if it isn't their truck they don't care anyway.

 

Did you expect the Chevy to not break?

Shoulda got another Ford, but at least its funny.

What did it do when it snapped? Did you feel the truck change at all? Anything strange go on?

 

did it pull the front left wheel? breaking the right rear leaf from the weight transition?? lol

 

lmao. my wore out truck hauls more weight than that without breaking leafs.

seriously, that truck smells like lemon... eating shocks and now a leaf snaps? thats NOT common especially since its not the main w/ the eye.

x2 damn chevy.

haven't seen ya around much tornadom ! Gotta get another trip together soon. Test out your ford leaf springs again, just to be sure.

 

I'm just glad I have the Ford again... been a ghost on here after I sold it.

 

you sold it ??/ Man I sure am outta the loop ! I'll pm ya.

 

i have a freind that is over a service department of a large ford dealer here in Houston.

many of Saturday nights we shoot the chit and i have asked, "do you really think the import vehicles are better" he always laughs and says.
"DAVE let me ask you a question, have you every seen a dealership that dosent have a big old service department out back".

 

Man those Chevy's really are built like rocks... heck there's one right there!

 

dude thats not funny, looks like grim chances there. although i have to ask how the big rock gets on top of the truck?

 

looks to me as if a flood took an unoccupied vehicle for a swim. not an accident
