| Description of the problem | The rear end seized which in turn snapped the drive shaft in half. The drive shaft then punctured the fuel tank, and flattened the spare tire. This happened while making a right hand turn onto a side street, my speed at the time was aprox 15 mph. It lifted the rear of the truck off the road and slammed down to a stop. I am glad i was not on the highway. |
