    Broken axle

    So last night my axle broke! I was driving home, took a corner and next thing I know I hear a loud clunk, and sparks shooting out the back of my truck. First I thought my drive shaft broke, but when I got out my wheel and axle were missing! After 5 min of searching I found the wheel/axle in a tree. Time for a C clip eliminator set and some new hardened axles!

    What is everyone on here doing as far as upgrading axles and C clips? Anyone else have this problem?

    So what is everyone doing for rear ends? Different axles? Going to a 12 bolt? Dana 60? Or just running stock axles in the 10 bolt with different gears and tru-trac? I need help! I'm lost without my truck

    Well dude that is really hard to believe but I rolled my regular cab down the interstate last year and I found the right wheel, drum, and the end of my axle still together 100ft away from the truck in the middle of the interstate!

    Are they running better axles? Or stock axles?
