  • Stellantis is leaving ram Chrysler dodge gona be on their own soon. They tarnished the brand to much to make it salvagble/profitable.

    Back when covid drove the prices up. They didn’t have a logistics problem like the other manufacturers because they didn’t upgrade their lineup. They just re sold outdated models for way too much money. Hence, the ram classic. But now all the leases and financing terms are ending, and you have a customer base that won’t get shit all for trade in to upgrade to a new model/ used market. So over about a 3-4 year span of worth of customers aren’t in much of a possition to buy a new veichle.




  • I guess you also didn’t notice the tow bar in the back. Huh. Trucks tend to sit high. So when you load them the truck levels out. Instead of squatting down in the rear. Also I don’t know if this truck is a legit tow truck but if it is, say you had a family of 5 or 6 are on a road trip in your grand caravan. Get into an accident with a dumb shit wild deer/fucking phesant/ windigo w/e or brake down cause budy guy at the last gas station was dumping a bit to much home brew corn gas in the tanks. A regular tow truck fits only 4 people. Plus driver. So now you got to wait for another veichle. Out there shits so remote that could be 30 min or 2hrs depending on the stretch of road. Now you got this pigfugly monster. Your Pacifica/oddesy/Siena is on the hook. You and your family are all in the warm cab and no one is freezing. Because it’s January. Yeah I forgot to mention it January in Alberta -30ºC


  • Hey dipshit there are only 4 places in the world that have oil sands. Canada, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Venezuela. So ther is no need for shit like this in Europe. Also the natural resource exploration pales in comparison to the rest of the world. Because Europe imports most of their natural resources from places that use “emotional support veichles”. Also in europe, more often then not your job site isn’t going to be 500km+ away from your origin. I’ve been in a many vans, fuck if I’m going to sit in a cramped ass tin can for 8hrs listening to road noise on an uncomfortable ass captains chair. When I can just sit in my lazy boy recliner in a quiet cab where I don’t have to yell to talk to guy beside me.


  • No ground clearance on van, gona get stuck in the mud. less payload on van, can’t just drop a skid of what ever or extra long things like hydraulic cylinders into a van with out akward fucking around. less tow capacity on van, notice the tow bar on the back… What are you gona put a welder, diesel cans, gas cans, pales of hydraulic oil for equipment/ slip tanks, pumps and what not into the van too with the occupants? What about the greasy and oily ass clothes. Throw em in the van too? So they stain and fill the cab with VOCs?

    This is a purpose built one off, and alot of you are out of touch with how work gets done. Not evey job is hauling standard 8x4 drywall. Alot more trades work than just slinging plaster around.




  • This is a load of baloney. If it was welded before, it can be welded again. You only need to heat the effected zone not the whole frame. Also put a sleeve over top and add more weld. Heat treat isn’t anything fancy. Get a temp gun and a propane torch. Get it to temp and let it cool slowly or quickly or both. depending on the spec you find.

    The only reason they cook the whole frame is because it’s easier from a manufacturing point of of view.




  • Yes I am dumb normie. Who has set up for doing things a certain way. I have my cnc plasma tables, my 3d printers and cnc mills. They are essential to my business. I need to be able to run the cad programs, communications and links. I have spent alot of hours already establishing this, learning how to do this. I don’t have time to re learn all this because I “should switch to linux” I don’t have time to learn new cad programs because the ones i use aren’t Linux friendly. Many of us normies just don’t have that spare time to go through the process. I just need something that I know will work.
