FWD Rocks
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.

Re: FWD Rocks
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.

Re: FWD Rocks
Hey Kirk, wow been off line for a bit, had a bit of a fender bender a couple months back, totaled my car and got pretty bounced around been off line and finally back to the real world. Any luck on a steering box? Give me a call Dennis 303 807-8061. Had a PC crash and phone upgrade after getting off Sprint. Imagine that lost lots My Outlook about the same time so thought I would ping ya here. Also have not been getting any of the club emails, and know I ordered some club Tshirts way back at the last meeting. early summer at the Golden Coral. Nothing like a concussion and time in the hospital to really mess up your summer. Call me please, tanks Dennis Sr. 303 807-8061.
