Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle and a method for improving the roll characteristics of a vehicle. The vehicle includes an axle, a sprung mass, a first control arm, a second control arm, a third control arm, a first pivotable joint, a second pivotable joint, a third pivotable joint, and a fourth pivotable joint. The torsional stiffness of the first control arm, the second control arm, the first pivotable joint, the second pivotable joint, the third pivotable joint, and the fourth pivotable joint are substantially equal to or greater than the torsional stiffness of the axle, whereby the axle bends and twists during a sprung mass roll event in order to limit an amount of roll.

Abstract: A mounting arrangement for a vertically oriented exhaust system component includes a base member mountable to a vehicle frame with a plurality of upstanding rods fixed to the bas member. At least one clamping band is interconnected with the plurality of rods and can be clamped onto an exhaust component. The arrangement is advantageous for heavy components such as SCR catalyst bodies and diesel particulate filters.

Abstract: A restraint device includes a latch and a catch. The latch is rotatable between a first latch position and a 5 second latch position about a latch axis of rotation, which is remote from the latch. The catch is provided with a first arm and a second arm. The catch is rotatable about a catch axis of rotation between a first catch position and a second catch position. The catch axis of rotation extends through 10 the catch. When the catch is in the first catch position, the latch, as it is rotated from the first latch position toward the second latch position, contacts the first arm to rotate the catch about the catch axis of rotation, thereby allowing the latch to rotate about the latch axis of 15 rotation past the catch. When the catch is in the first catch position, the latch, as it is rotated from the second latch position toward the first latch position, contacts the first arm, which thereby engages the latch and restrains further rotation of the latch about the latch axis of 20 rotation toward the first latch position. When the catch is in the second catch position, the latch, as it is rotated from the second latch position toward the first latch position, contacts the second arm to rotate the catch about the catch axis of rotation, whereby the catch transitions 25 from the second position to the first position as the latch rotates about the latch axis of rotation past the catch and toward the first latch position. 1752170_2 (GHWattrs) 40,

Abstract: A truck includes a frame, an operator cab on the frame and a drive axle having a differential. The differential can be connected to a drive shaft. A fairing for directing air flow around the differential is attached to the frame forward of the drive axle and forward of the differential. The fairing can have a non-deflected position and a deflected position.
