I had been doing alot of loads of rocks from my home in Dallas Texas, to Okl Hugo *witch is where my land is* I guess all the stress from the weight and the distance just took its toll. I had no load at the time going through the middle of a enter section and well guess what SURPISE![/align]

Better not drive to far in just front wheel unless you have an SYE...unless you want to buy a t-case too...

Driveshafts are easy to fix, did you break the yoke or just the shaft itself? If you did you should have just taken it to a local driveshaft shop. The one here fixes stuff like that (takes the old yokes, slip, and joints) and puts a new tube on them and balances for $100.
