Re: Possible Tundra Bed Bounce CURE FOUND
[quote=CO Tundra;953592]
Lastly, the concrete roadways that cause these problems are less than 5 years old. They are 30 year structures. That means if I went to the highway designer and said "you designed your highway wrong and I think you should spend 40 million replacing a stretch of road that makes my truck bounce unreasonably", he would just laugh at me and probably comment vehicle choice.

I suspect that I-25 north of Denver to the Wyoming border is more than 5 years old. The Highways Dept. would know for sure. It was on that section of concrete highway that I encountered severe bed bounce.
Also, I wouldn't hesitate to tell a highway engineer that they designed their highway wrong. And any good civil engineer would pay attention. Engineering has not reached the end of their learning curve. Many structures designed by civil engineers are designed in such a way to eliminate the destructive force of harmonics. Random spacing of highway joints might eliminate harmonics for all size of vehicles at any speeds. I don't see anyone complaining about harmonic bouncing on worn cracks of paved roads. That, IMO, may be because the cracks on paved roads are not equally spaced.
Just my thoughts.
