| Description of the problem | We just turned onto my street and we heard a loud grumble and drag sound. Like brake or rear end lock up.. Sure enough we stopped turned truck off and looked the rear end was locked and my drive shaft was laying on the road. Thank the lord above it didn't happen when we was just on interstate. I'm disabled and it was cold and i had to sit in truck until help came, which we are 18 -20 miles from town. I go to doctor a lot and its my only transportation. The mechanic said the rear end locked and something flexed and drive shaft came out. |
