Larger Than Life Hot Rod

This wild, gigantic Hot Rod was made by cutting up and reassembling a 1970s COE Maxim Fire Truck. It it used to be a 100 foot (30 meter) ladder truck. The frame was lowered and reshaped, the motor was repositioned and a 1940s Ford truck cab was modified to fit behind the big Detroit Diesel motor. The big 2-stroke V8 is not only supercharged but also turbocharged.

DEFECT #1 - SUSPENSION


Posted on: 1996-10-22
Description
The equalizing beam shaft of the tandem axle suspension were manufactured from as-rolled sae4140 steel rather than the specified annealed sae4140.  These shafts can fracture inside the beam at the toe of the weld.

Consequence
Vehicles are subject to vehicle tilt and possible rollover in the event that both equalizing beams, on the same side of the vehicle, experience a simultaneous shaft failure.  Affected suspensions can also drop and contact the road surface generating sparks which could ignite flammable material.

Corrective Action
Owner notification is being conducted by neway anchorlok.  Dealers will inspect and replace all suspension suspension beams with suspension beams containing appropriate shafts.
