Drove home in front wheel drive today, after last weeks Hooky Day wheeling trip I picked up a vibration at 40mph, thought maybe I lost a balancing weight, NOT! I ran a errand today and the vibration was starting to expand through the speed range so I pulled over and got under for a look, u-joint is gone at the rear end. Locked the hubs and twin sticked it to FWD, a bit squirrelly with the locker but I made it home.

I had that happen to me one time. Blizzard of 97. I was on I-25 headed to college in Ft. Collins when my driveshaft went out. It was a Tom Wood shaft to boot. I called him the next morning and he overnighted me a brand new shaft.

Happened to me twice in the last year. Once in the Bronco and once in the Super Duty. Gotta LOVE FWD.
