well i let my uncle barrow my truck for a week so he could do some moving. everything went smooth up until last night when he was bringing it back. they got about 20 miles outside of Iola Kansas, where i go to college, and THIS happend!
this is the short shaft on the rear drive shaft. its pretty tore up, as you may of noticed. there are chunks missing everwhere on this peice, even from the inside of the u-joint
just another view, just to show the carnage.
the other end of the short shaft looked to me to be in pretty decent condition, other then replacing the u-joint it should be just fine.
the middle peice not sure what its even called, but thats about the extent of the damage on that.
this is the farthest back end of my drive shaft.
as you can see its wedged in there pretty good.
as you can see the u-joint managed to shift outward on one side pushing the other out.
this is the front end of that shaft. as you can tell its been broken off.
im gona have to replace that part, dam
this is on the rear axle, not sure wat its called.
this peice looks to be fine xcept for the cap for the u-joint is still stuck in it.
this is coming out of the transfer case.
as you can tell there is a peice missing, ive got to replace that too.
and theres still a peice of the u-joint still lodged in there
this is how she sits now. driveshaft in the back of the truck. not goin anywhere for a while.
all and all there wasnt any real bad damage, i mean goin 70 down the highway and ur driveshaft falls off and this is all that happens? kinda amazing. he said he will be back up next week with new peices and he'll help me put my baby back together again. glad i dont have to pay too much for it.. lol
