I'm looking to buy a chev/gmc. I need a truck that can haul 4000Ib in the box.

 

 

 

 

 

Forget it with a 2500 if you leave it stock and even a stock 3500 SRW would be hard pressed to do it legaly (if you follow vehcile GVW rating) but it is possible if it is a gas truck and a std cab. If it is a extended or CC and or a diesle too you will be over 9900 GVW before you hit 4k payload. What are your options? If you get a SRW 3500 and add a leaf to each side in rear, the stock tires will hold up about 7100 lbs and some change (265 E's) so you could carry 4000 lbs okay though you would be over 9900 GVW but the axle has a 8k capacity itself and chassis/frame is the same on 3500 SRW and DRW. With a 2500, you would need to add a few leafs to each side and upsize tires to 265 E's. Chassi, brake and axles are the same on 2500HD and 3500 SRW so they could both do it with work. If you want a turn key"legal" setup, get a dualie.

How many case's of sailsbury steak does it take to get to 4k ?

How many steaks per case ?

Gravy is my favorite beverage!

 

So, if gravy is the same as water at 8lbs a gallon, it would only take 500 gallons of gravy to reach the 4000lb mark. Mmmmmmmm 500 gallons of gravy, sounds like a party!

Well, we'll say salisbury steak weighs about 1/2 lb each...thats 8k steaks...but say 1/4 lb of gravy per steak...and a 1/4 potato per steak for good measure...so thats 4k steaks, 1k lbs of potatoes and gravy each...this guy is planning a cookout!! I'll bring the seasoning, wingnut, you bring the beer!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
