Yeah the other side looked ok. At first I did not know what side had broke so I started on the drivers side and it was in one piece and looked good and straight with no twisting on the splines.

I did and it is in one spot. but it's not leaking and I still get 60 PSI when going down the highway so it must not be restricted enough to matter.

I used to be a machinist and did some millwright work in the shop as well. If I had to guess from experience I should have between .001 and .003 slop in the setting so I should be ok.

Well Truck is back together and took it for a short spin and everything seems great. The brakes work much better now and the steering as a bit tighter then it was before. I am attributing both to the bad bearings on the drivers side. Everything else looked great after disassemble. The inner...

Oh that wasn't that bad. It never hopped at all doing that and I had help! I had been planning to smash this car for a year. We put a bunch of holes in it before attempting to run it over, so that was fun at least.

Yeah I am thinking of something to do with the chunk that broke off. Maybe drill and tap it and make a knob out of it... I do plan to take the other end and hang it in the garage as a reminder. At the time it was fun so I don't really care.

That's just it.. the one on the other side looked brand new and had great looking grease. I do plan to at least take the rear 4 hubs off and have a look before I call this project done. I hope that one is the only fluke. Seems my stupidity saves the day! :roll:

Took the front end apart. Good thing I broke it, that bad bearing is the one on the drivers side. I would have hated to have it break on the way to/from Haspin. I hope to have it back together next weekend. Lesson learned.

It wasn't in any water when it was stuck in the swamp nor did I drive it through any. I learned in the swamp not to drive where you can't see what you are driving on, and smashing the car... well don't do that again. I think after spending 4k I know what the limits of my truck now are. :oops...

Don't I have to basically take it down to the knuckle to pull them out?

It went exactly how I thought it would except for the front axle part. It was funny, the car was under the front driver wheel and the truck was wearing it like a roller skate. Eastern has rebuilt axles for 2450 and I have a place I can have them shipped to, so that is an option for me at this...

Me being dumb again! I had just got the truck back after being stuck in a marsh on some logs for 4 weeks, and decided lets try and run over a car! Well the truck got stuck on top of the car and I am pretty sure I snapped a drive axle in the front. I have no power at the front wheels. All I...
