| Description of the problem | Was driving to work at 40 mph and suddenly a loud bang occurred. My rear end lock up and the truck came to a screeching halt. I got out and saw my drive shaft hanging down and called a tow truck! No injuries thankfully, but it sure could have had a different outcome on a highway at faster speeds! Extremely expensive repair. |
