RE: Nyala Police Riot Vehicle Gearbox Installation (My Daily Doings)

My greetings, @technicalside.
Quite a job you performed, very neat and tidy I would say. With all those details you had to look after, I guess you had to repassed them to make sure everything was under control. Just imagen a nut or a converter bolt had dropped, i guess everything had to be taken down and off.
By the way, I understand that the propeller shafts had to be installed in such a way that they don't produce any vibrations whatsoever, is that so in those heavy duty vehicles?
Reading your answers to @jesustiano, I suppose that those trucks don't have an assigned driver, I mean, any one there who is responsable just to drive them. When this is not the policy, no one cares if there is a leak of any fluid, either coolant, engine or transmission oil. If different, the responsable driver would be more concerned about anything that could be wrong with his assigned truck and would undergo a check list prior to getting it on the road.
Very nice and didactable post.
Take care..
Hi there. I am just a bit busy.. And struggling with my RC aswell.. But I will get back to you tomorrow or later tonight. Thanks for the feed back Uncle.. Its much appreciated 😎
Hi, sorry for the late reply @ogutierrez.
Yes it was quite the job, we still have 2 of the 14 left that we initially got over the last year.. Year and a half... One needs a gearbox job and break drums... And the other one needs both an engine overall which we are busy with, im not the one building the motor, my grandpa is the lucky one their, and the one with the motor needs a gearbox overall aswell.
Back to the topic at hand😂😅 converter nuts.. Yes they can sometimes be a little fiesty, im sure you've been through that situation, knowing all too well about the risky risk of those nuts falling 😂😂☔
Yes 2 of the propshafts.. Hmm how can i say this? They can pull apart.. And if you didnt mark them before pushing the two pieces back together they can be misalligned with each other and can cause a vibration... BUT if you dont pull them apart you should be fine, seeing thay they have no center bearing... So aslong as your two joining flanges are properly placed against each other therr should be no vibration.
As with the assigned driver... Im not going to dig too deep into politics, but the current ruling party of my country, well they simply just dont care, it would blow your mind at how corrupt and bullshitting they are... Not even caring for their own people, feeding them lies to fill their pockets.. We have a serious problem regarding that... I assume that before 1994 these vehicles had assigned drivers.. Or whatever vehicles they had those years. But I am almost cert2they had assigned drivers... But now their is no control what so ever over the police state owned vehicles... Close to my house their is a police depot with atleast 400 brand new vehicles thats been bought and have been standing in the weather for the last 4 to 6 years...
Sorry for the stretched reply... I hope you found the answer you were looking for even though i strayed off topic alot
Hi there @technicalside.
It is quite ok, sometimes we find ourselves so tide-up that we don't find time to do even what we like.
Very true on the proshafts, as lon as you don't pull them apart everything is fine, otherwise vibrations could take place even at low speeds.
Regarding the assigned driver, I believe it happens in most of the departments having to control state cars. Unfortunately that may be one way they, the state, can get away with their way of mishandling things, however it is not our matter to talk about that in this communities, which are for our enjoyment.
Once again, thanks for your post and answer.
Take care..
