Is that engine torque twisting the chassis so the left wheel lifts straight off the ground? :awe:

Spooky.

I don't think it's the torque from the engine doing that. It looks more like the torque from the drive shaft into the rear axle having so much resistance that the transmission, which is bolted to the engine and frame, is twisting itself and the rest of the truck along with it.

Semantics, isn't it?

Not really.

I view engine torque twisting the cabin to the left if truck was in neutral and revving the engine.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

That was AWESOME! Reminds me of some old trucks in Belarus that smoke nearly that much!

 

[MrWizzard]

I would like to see that go down at a greenpeace convention and just watch the reaction.

The engine torque would also twist the cabin momentarily if driven wheels were locked. And?

10 seconds in watch how the suspension reacts to the torque: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaRw3EmvmeM

So, the transmission turns under its own power?

I believe that's the pinion climbing the ring gear.

You got me there.

Soot is awesome. Those guys are more green than any fckn prius owner. All that soot fall out of the sky and feeds the plants!

i agree with you. the point is, in neutral if they just revved the engines the cabins wouldnt lean that far.
