Default Man I picked the wrong week to quite drinking.

Well out plowing today I blew out the front you joint. I know why it blew. With the LSD in the front diff and the semi clean street there wasn't enough slip and it popped it. Drove it most of the way back than said wait let me call someone and see how much damage I'm going to do. After that short call I called for the hook.

Least its getting replaced for FREE there about 2 weeks old.

Least it was only 75 bucks for the tow and I tipped the drive 10 bucks. Good thing I know people other wise I was looking at 200.

Lockers in the winter would suck. It could pop into lock and cause you to spin out.

You don't want a locker in the front of a plow truck. You won't be able to steer it.

My guess is that this won't be the first carnage you'll have. Sorry to tell ya that Max.

800 smackers. But I'll get better MPG's year round so I'll pony up the bills.

Dont look for much in the way of MPG improvement. You aren't reducing rotating mass all that much.

Not having to replace hub/bearing units will definitely be a plus though.
