    Overview

    This mod adds tri drive to your favourite fictional semi truck!
    Features a realistically simulated rear drivetrain and suspension setup, all while using vanilla-like jbeams and almost no custom meshes.

    Usage

    Under "Rear frame", install one of the two available Tridem frames

    Optional: Under "Front frame" > "Cab" > "Interior" > "Dashboard" > "Interaxle differential lock switch" install the lock switch marked as "Tridem". This enables engaging both interaxle differentials at the same time using the interior switch.

    Very optional: if you're using separate keybindings for the interaxle diff, you will find four new bindings for the rear interaxle (ending with "2") under Options>controls>vehicle specific.


    Limitations

    In order to keep the quality of this mod as high as possible, I decided to remove upfits from the modded frames that were overlapping with the third axle. More specifically you cannot install the car hauler and the tanker main pipes.


    Mod compatibility

    T-Series Drivetrain Expansion by epicfacecanada
    I personally have not tested compatibility between mine and theirs, however I see no purpouse in using both simultaneously.

    Wheel/tire mods
    Due to technical limitations, you cannot install modded wheels/tires on the front rear and middle rear axles.
    If anyone wants to make their own mods compatible with mine, here are the slotTypes:
    Front Rear Wheels: wheel_FR_10
    Middle Rear Wheels: wheel_MR_10
    Front Rear Tires: us_semi_tire_R_0_tri
    Middle Rear Tires: us_semi_tire_R_1_tri

    It's good but after two-three days it just sends the truck into the air, any reason why?

    Love the concept, poor execution. Some of the frame endings suddenly cause my engine to skyrocket itself into the overrev range, immediately exploding. Other frames just don't work at all, with the driveshaft just ending at the end of the fuel tank, not going anywhere, just... floating connected to nothing. The default configurations work, but as soon as I start customizing, they explode.

      I double-checked every rear frame / frame ending combination and I couldn't find any bugs. Are you sure you are not running other mods that might interfere? What does the ingame mod checker say?
