8:20 Hi Australian here who has been around truck. And no that isn’t safe at all what so ever. But the looks of it, it’s a Road Train truck. So it’s definitely not safe 😂
The small amount of booger weld didn't confuse me as much as the little standoff blocks they welded onto instead. Someone was higher than giraffe pussy when they put that together.
That Water Heater catch pan looks a lot nicer than the ice cream bucket hanging under a local raised Suburban that's catching ATF leaking from the rear seal!
Looks like somebody forgot to torque the rod bolts on that big diesel engine. And someone eng. should put new bolts in that happened so fast you think he just left one bolt off the rod. So funny the guy didn't even notice it was knocking when he was starting it up. What a waste of clean oil.
Emotional damage 110%, now I am working on a new project I was very close to the finishing, I’ve made an mistake and the 8,5kw electric motor fall down directly in the shaft damaging the motor. I was as like 🫠🫠🫠🤬
😢😮😅 The truck was just strapped down that was revving his engine to see how fast it could go. Just blew the drive shaft out and snapped his universal joints. Boy. That's a good one.
@robertheinkel6225 yeah you're right Robert. They'll put a high performance car or a high performance truck on there to check the horsepower. But in that video he still looks like he blew his drive shaft out with a universal joints and it almost hit that woman. Thanks for the response back. Interesting! Hey, you learned something new, it don't hurt. Thank you. Good luck to you.

In a modern car? Good luck. It takes that long to get it on the ramps and remove the skid plate alone. Then the plastic drain plug ever so gently (gotta make sure to buy two, because the mandatory replacement doesn't come with the filter kit) and realize it won't drain properly because it's on ramps.
