Description of the problem | First heard roaring (wub wub wub wub sound coming from underneath when truck was coasting approximately 45 mph (no accelerator pressed) the faster i was coasting the louder and higher the sound became. Sounded like bad tires, but upon pressing accelerator pedal, noise would completely go away. I took the truck home immediately and called my mechanic to come drive it and diagnose the vehicle. He took it for a test drive, brought it back and told me do not drive this truck; it is too dangerous. Something is seriously wrong with the drive train probably the wheel bearings of differential. He would not drive it to his garage either as he had his young daughter and her friend with him. He came back with another guy to drive his vehicle as he would drive mine to his shop and told me he would put it on the lift and check it out. He drove away. I went back inside and then a few minutes later i see him backing down the driveway. I went out and asked him what was wrong at which time he informed me he heard a clanging and stopped immediately, and upon inspection found the drive shaft had fallen out onto the ground. He found the nut and repaired it well enough to back it to my home down the driveway. He showed me underneath and fluid was everywhere. I could see a definite gap between the driveshaft and where it attaches at the rear axle. He came back with a car-hauler and will inform me as to the full extent of the damage. Thank god this catastrophic failure did not occur on the highway at speed with traffic. I have also had severe brake shake like many, many other titan owners. |
