Searched and cant find what i need, just a bunch of infomation about body bushing isolators

 

 

Short story is that the truck was on a dirt road to feed some cattle when there was a loud bang on the bottom. Wasnt going no more then 5mph. didnt hear anything odd till we got back on the pavement and now there is a rubbing noise everytime the cab shifts.

 

looked under the truck and the body mount bracket (under the driver door) is completely cracked and bent. the weld broke where its welded to the frame and it bent in a little. the bolt and bushing appear to be ok but i have not took it off yet.

 

I do know i am going to need a new frame cab bracket that holds the bushing to the cab. looked a 3 salvage yards and none have the newer style trucks yet.

 

My question; is there anywhere I can buy a new frame bracket for the cab and just weld it on. if not. what year trucks had the same frame bracket. Thank you !!!

Is the truck still under warranty? If so, take it back to a dealer. If not, the dealer should be able to get you one.

its physcial damage, probally a rock that hit it. ill post a pic when i get home. its not like something just broke off, so i dont think the dealer would warrenty something like that. I have looked on 3 gm-parts websites, and none show that part for sale.

Another pic. Its bent up pretty decent. The Bolt comes out easly and the bushing itself is not moved.

I doubt you can order a frame mount. I would say the frame will only come as a whole unit. I would look into a local metal fab shop. It can't be that hard to have them weld somthing in.

I agree with 8.1HD/ALLISON after seeing the pictures. Maybe a bodyshop that does frame repairs.

Take it back to the dealer if it is still under warranty and just see what they say. I'd take it back if it had less than 100,000 miles. You said it yourself that you were not going more than 5 mph and that's using a truck. It is not like you were abusing it by running a Baja race. It shouldn't break like this when driving slowly through a field or dirt road.

It looks like the side rail step bracket is now touching the frame bracket...I bet that is where your noise is coming from.

 

Since the bracket is welded to the frame, you can't order just the bracket, so take the step off and take it to a body shop with a frame machine. Let them pull it back into alignment and weld the bracket. Put the step back on, making sure the bracket and step don't touch and get back to feeding your cattle. :(

 

The other option is to swap frames which seems a little excessive!

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.

      If we actually used any significant amount of that source in the USA then I'd agree but we don't. We've had that discussion before. We drill and pump more than we use. Thing is, we sell. We export. Gas and Crude. It's more profitable so any shortage here is self inflicted and LEGAL.    I worked a gas plant that has multiple fuel sources available and I worked in the furnace and boiler plant in that facility. I'd had days we swapped fuel types four times in a twelve hour shift which isn't done on supply but on margin. Two of the fuel sources are internally generated. Tail gas and DAK, both of which are sold as well a consumed. We always had more than we needed to run the process but we chose the fuel that produced the best margin not bought at the cheapest price always. A good bit of math to that and back in the time that was done on a slide rule.     I worked the Shale Oil Semiworks of Chevron Research and CONOCO Research in Salt Lake City. That process never went into production although it was very successful. Why? Did we lack oil bearing shale? Nope. Price of crude never made the margins work. That was in the late 70's early 80's. Remember history? What was happening then was a reaction to that situation. It didn't drive it. If so then it's easy. This isn't a supply and demand thing. This is a profit and margin thing and AI rules that now.    In no refining situation that I was ever in would a bomb hitting a well anywhere in the world 'instantly' interrupt or even distress the supply. Most plants have more than a months worth of crude in the tank field and more in pumping stations. That yo-yo could play out over days, weeks and maybe months and have zero impact on plant operations. How many times has this been off and on in the last few months? These people and not stupid. These plants measure down time in hundreds of thousands of dollars per day. They are not sucking fumes or waiting on the next truckload with baited breath. Besides, as I noted, they are for the most part 'vertically integrated'. They own it from the dirt is sits in to the delivery rack and sometimes to the pump. It has a HUGE shock absorber built in. When production suffers, refining wins and when refining is winning exploration is killing. The rest of that crap in the news is a 'news cycle'. Government dipping in to reserves? Oil is stealing their milk money. There's a reason Chevron abandon Venezuela infrastructure and it had nothing to do with security of US citizens. Nationals run those plants. it has to do with MARGINS disappearing to corruption. They are in no hurry to return. Is there supply there? Oh yea. More than enough to offset what is bought in the middle east. Just isn't ???? Profitable.    We have supply. There are places in Illinois you can drive a pipe into the ground and run your homes natural gas furnace on it.    A refinery fire will gum up the supply works but not a localized war where the market is using a limited supply from. Now Europe, that's something other....
