Munroe JRE Hummer teardown:Everybody wants on the Munro gravy train.
I guess it's good for their two audiences to intersect.
Zack could do another vid having the Munro folks advise on how to complete his Hummer EV. : )
Spoiler: Yes there are 7,777. Sandy Munro appears in the first 1/4, explaining the motors and the problem with the tonneaus. The last 1/2 is this guy disassembling a battery pack and teaching about what he sees. Pretty good watch
His “solution” doesn’t make sense. A second motor doesn’t prevent the slats from incorrectly joining (shouldn’t be flat, but some are) nor does it address the physical clearance issues that seem to be linked to thermal expansion.Overall a great video but I REALLY liked hearing Munro go into detail on the tonneau issues.
But it would overcome the resistance from the springs. Will be interesting what solution they come up.His “solution” doesn’t make sense.

There are issues that aren't caused by the springs, though. In fact, I'm not sure that the springs are even an issue, at all... Even if they are, they are not the only or even primary issue.But it would overcome the resistance from the springs. Will be interesting what solution they come up.
I’m REALLY curious about how the fix is going to address the cover jamming due to thermal expansion in hot weather. To date that’s the only tonneau issue I’ve had. Guessing they’ll either change the material or trim the width.There are issues that aren't caused by the springs, though. In fact, I'm not sure that the springs are even an issue, at all...

Note that Sandy's first recommendation was bigger working surfaces on the gear faces and or a bigger drive shaft. I think he's see the twisting forces distorting the stacker frame and the planks skewed as they drive onto the gears.His “solution” doesn’t make sense.
