Damm Sir,,now thats carnage.

 

I'm glad to see you got'er home

 

Ah man, the Vagina hauled you home!?

 

Its my roommates 01 cummins. It was part of the deal for him to haul me home....pictures....

 

So it looks like it broke the rear u-joint and then -ed! At least your ok! Right! Any pic's of the rear yoke?

 

At least it did not puncture the gas tank.

 

Damn is that foam in the drive shaft?? Glad your ok and the truck can be fixed, if it would of taken the gas tank out well ya know.

 

Yes the long fat aluminum d-shafts are foam filled.

 

such horrible luck. glad to see your okay, you don't need us to tell you...it could of been the front joint that went first. The only thing that would of saved you in that scenario is it is thin aluminum.

Yeh, when I broke mine (at 10mph, I floored it) and later was looking at it (2years ago) I was like wtf...foam? That aluminum is beer can thin almost too. The diameter of that thing is what makes it as tough as it is for being 70+ inches..

 

Yea, at least i didnt put her in the wall or something like that. I rip hole in the asphalt about every 10 feet. I had to walk the trap and help them pick up all of the foam and aluminum shards. I drug a crown vic that sounded mean and had ET streets. He said that if he was going any faster, he would have taken a driveshaft to the face. I apologized to him and the firetruck that had to drag me in. I felt really bad. I was proud(im sick huh? ) yet pissed that i wasnt getting any decent runs and wasnt driving my truck home.

Either the u joint ate **** or it twisted off at the center. The u joint is still attatched to the pinion yoke and the rotating cylinder thingys (somebody give me the actual name!!! ) on top were missing. I really dont know. I have heard of the long single peice aluminum dshafts snapping in half in longbeds. There was a guy with a longbed not too long ago that broke it in half and it shot through the cab floor! The same reason i didnt hit the dyno. I didnt expect it. I thought my rear end gave out at first......then i looked under the truck and saw one half hanging there.
