way to start off a season....

Dont have pics right now but will in a little while when i go to recover the truck....

Made my first pass and cause a hole a set of 44's had buried it in so there was no finding bottom, lined up for my second pass launched hit the same holes again but climbed threw them to the top of the hill down the next hole and ontop of the second hill the rear end quit pulling, heard a loud clank, can oly hope it was the rear drive shaft (pretty sure it was cause i could hear something rolling around sounded like in my loops.

not to bad right?



Then i lost the front left tire completely. Tire/rim/hub/spindle/stub shaft all in the pit, I left the truck there last night after digging the tire out the pit with the excavator and pulling the truck out with the dozer since the 4wd tractor they pull out with would not budge me. also bent the crap outta my front bumper, gonna go load it up with the excavator later once it warms above 30, woulda loaded it last night but it was snowing and the pit is only 10-15 mins from my house.

here is the only pic i have and it is of my tire still in the pit that a fried posted to facebook....

Sorry for the luck. Sounds like mine.

bout to go get it and see what the extent of the damage really is

Nothing that can't be fixed. should have it up and rolling by Wednesday.

If it wasn't so dang cold i prolly could, but the truck is still on the trailer covered in mud, started trying to wash it yesterday but it was a lost cause since the mud was still frozen so I just cleaned enough to make sure i didn't break the inner shaft to, but gotta order a new stub shaft for it and a new joint and it will be going back together, also gotta make sure i didn't mess up the yoke on the back of the transfer case when that U joint let go

nope just that same old 429 i had in it last year

Dang Larry. Looks like it's time to put in a set of Yukon axle shafts with the HD joints.

got a new Yukon stub on the way with a new HD spicer joint also 2 new set's of spindle stud's gonna replace the other side studs to so i dont have the issue of the spindle dismounting again.

Good call on both sets of studs. Looks like you may need more than a stub, may be the pic but it looks like the ears have opened up on the long end. He looks miserable in that state, better hurry to get him back on all fours before he catches an attitude.

It is just the pic, I checked it over real good it looked fine
