Wasn't my fault this time!
So I was sitting at this stop light right... and the light turned green, so I gave her some gas. Went two feet before I hear a loud clunk and some banging and no more movement. Threw my rear driveshaft off... again.
Well I just happened to be the first at the light so all the people behind me had to go around. I had like 3 people in a row tell me my driveshaft was on the ground... like I didn't already know. Luckily a cable guy stopped and helped push her off the road... he had a reflective vest, I knew I should have gotten one the day before... anyway off subject. I got underneath to assess the damage, first thing I noticed was one of the brackets clamping the rear U-joint to the Rear Axle had been twisted and snapped, so I went ahead and pulled the driveshaft out... and burned my arm on my muffler in the process, it still hurts. Um... oh while doing that I noticed that the yoke on my rear end was pointed up towards the bottom of my truck... not good, I thought the whole thing was turned like that... turns out it was just the pumpkin. I somehow broke the welding that attached it to the axle housing. So yeah, what started as an easy fix... turned into yet another rear end that I broke... Luckily my neighbor has access to a car trailer, so I got him to come and give me a tow. So now Kayla is sad :( I'll get some pics up when I start working on her. |
That sucks! Whatdya do? Run the pumpkin with no oil?
|
Excuse the pun but, are you sure the pinks not a jinx? LOL
Hope it doesn't cost too much to fix. At least you have access to cheap parts. I'd be crying in front of the bank manager. LOL |
Damn that sucks.
|
That does suck...sounds like a rough weekend lol.
|
ouch, sorry to hear that, hope you have her back up on the road soon :D

Who welded the perches onto the rear axle?? That should never happen.

Kyle...I was being sarcastic lol.
I was implying those who say "It wasn't my fault, I swear" are usually the culprits ;) |
