Guess its time to do u joints? Glad I only destroyed the u joint itself. Heard horror stories about these when your at speed.

Crap! Could have sucked a lot worse! If its 4WD you could probably get away with taking the DS off and getting home with the front axle.

[Trenchfeet]

It is four wheel drive, but I’m in little mexico downtown Phoenix and to remove a driveshaft leaves you pretty vulnerable while working on it.
I turned a new leaf a year ago and I’ve had insurance the whole time including roadside. I’ll just wait for them.

That sucks. Yea, I have towing on my insurance. $6.00 and a simple phone call when needed, they are there within the hour. I’ve used it twice and both times it only took 30 minutes.

[Trenchfeet]

So got the truck home, drive shaft out, and it’s ruined too. $620 bucks.

Ouch.

[Trenchfeet]

Yeah get mad, then what? Seems like i just gotta find 30 more storefronts once, and lots of them will turn into monthlies. It’ll work out. Lol

My van broke down twice in one week January. Spent over $1100 for repairs, towing and taxi and had to walk about fifteen minutes while it was zero degrees.

[Trenchfeet]

Around you, different story. This type of stuff can be life threatening.

[leavingnc]

i had the same thing happen to my truck. at least mine broke about 1000 feet from my house

@Matthew - except for the idiot in front at least the esse’s have good trigger discipline.

[HBM]

They have good haircuts.

And here is it’s replacement, its a shame to have to put it under the truck!
