Just can't win....

Mid last week my rea tank fuel pump died, so today with a friend to help I set about emptying the back to pull the bed...

I get about 15gal out of the in bed tank and it dies... Crap....
a 40min operation becomming a three hour op was something
I didn't need.....

Anyway finally get the other 25gallons out of the in-bed tank get it out of the bed and the bed off and I'm standing there just taking a general look around... and what do I see? the Large end (axle end) of my Duff Traction bars is split BOTH SIDES!

Digusted I go onto replace the rear tank fuel pump (F-series cannister type)
and that atleast goes smoothly, so I can now actually use the 17gallons of gas that has been entombed therein for most of a week...

But Now I have to fabricate new bars... This SUX...

I'd still like to know how I broke them...

I guess I'm not as "nice" to my truck as I thought I was

Shit... I'm going to look around tractor supply company for
three point hitch parts, something that ain't gonna break...

But I need to replace the pump in my in-bed tank (a two-stage GM TBI) too.. so off to the junkyard once again...

And I need a new spare pump for my rear tank.
And since I didn't replace the front tank pump I think I'd better locate my spare for that as well.

I had a long spell where only major stuff failed.

Last February I broke the output shaft of my trans
and in June I blew out the front bearing retainer in
my T-case, so if it's gonna be stuff like the traction bars
and fuel pumps I can live with that...

Perhaps you should start working on GM products, I hear people have less problems with them.

How do you break an output shaft? Those are the kind of thing that usually just break.
