dunefreak Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 ok Aaron. Here it is. Sounds like a bad thing right? Well, it turned out to be not such a bad thing for Aaron. He was leaving Banshee Hill after the races, got some wheel hop in his 2WD Suburban, then lots of bad noises. Snap goes the driveline. A guy towed him up to the hard back, then he came and got us to tow him to camp. So whats the good part? Sanddunesaddict was able to come out and rescue him with a tow truck so that meant he was able to have a few beers and kick it with all of us and spent the night out at Dumont instead of going home. It also meant I didn't have to load my bikes up in the back of my truck too since I ended up towing his flatbed trailer home. I just threw the bikes on the trailer. You know Bert was lovin that tow truck too. :bert: Glad it wasn't that big of a situation, Aaron. Now for the pics. :stir: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to tell by the pic but if your diff angle is straight with your driveshaft + lift block and no links it doesn't take much hop the do the axle wrap thing.

wingnut Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 That sucks Aaron!! Cool Bert came to the rescue!!!! I wish Bert liked me when I shattered my driveline!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddunesaddict Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 i was expecting a little better run from you guys..... Govenor shuts the truck off at 75. I was only half throttle.I set the cruise at 55-60 pretty much the whole way home.It did not slow down up Potosi. That new 5500 Dodge is impressive. That sucks Aaron!! Cool Bert came to the rescue!!!! I wish Bert liked me when I shattered my driveline!! When did you break a driveline?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Agent Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Good to read it all worked out. We have the AAA premium RV/MC membership. Gives you 230 miles of towing per incident, several time a year,, X 4 if the wife in on the membership too. Worth looking into. Would AC DC be the guys to call I wonder? What a relief to see them make it to your location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
