Re: [oletrucks] Re: blown rear end?

[Roger.Gleason@uconn.edu]

May be a broken axle.  I did it once when I was young but my dad said itwas 
probably due to the fact that the previous owner hauled large rocks. Ibroke 
both axles in a 46 chev.pu. Dad replaced them with ones he got out ofa car from 
the junk yard. Worked well until he sold it. Actually I waspracticing popping 
the clutch. If he only had known a trip to the wood shedmay have been in store. 
:-)Could also have been a spider gear split. I've had that happen more thanonce 
in the race car.Roger GleasonUniversity of ConnecticutConstruction Engineer31

                      First and formost--glad your family and you house was 
spared. Being here acouple weeks,it sure does stike me harder being closer to 
these folks goingthrough this. Must be just a terrible awful feeling seeing the 
fire comingover the beautiful roaming hillsides here coming toward you and know 
not adamn thing you can do..Only way you'll know is the remove the cover and 
take a look inside, gonnahave to come off anyway so may as well do it. The pins 
holding it togetherare about 1/2 in di!
ameter so it'd take a lot to shear them. May havesheared off a few teeth on the 
gears and not meshing. If you roll the truckdo you hear any noises from it.
