Dual Cam Setup

In light of this new realization, if it holds water that is, you will have to retrace you total trip in your mind on where did the truck riding surface create any level of back flex and did it come with a compound angle turn at the same time?

There's a right turn with compound angle. Here's a video of the turn in the Excursion (no trailer).

Here's a link to a video:

We know the damage occurred on the drivers side of the TT. You or I really need to know the amount of level or uneven ground and which turn direction was the kill shot that created the high WD forces. Or there where several turn events. Pending the amount uneven ground you drove on I can build a case for a left or right turn doing this.

The only other compound angle turn I can think of is in and out of the driveway. That's a left.


Here are some specs on my setup. I don't have the trailer or hitch here.


..............Front Axle...Rear Axle......Trailer Axle
WD............4020..........4940...........7260
No WD.........3800..........5440...........6800
Truck Only....4360..........3800


Tongue Weight.....1080
Avt Trailer wt....7970
Percent Tongue......13.55%


Truck wheel base : 137
Truck rear overhand, rear axle to tow ball
( I have rear axle to hitch pin: 53")

I don't have these (trailer and hitch are not here):
> Tow ball to TT axle distance
> TT axle distance on the tandems

The above measurements are before my last hitch adjustment. Which was to return the front axles to unhitched weight. This was done by going one notch on the hitch head after the above weights were taken.


Loaded TW: 1080
WD bar size: 1200 Lb.
