Default this is priceless

i arrived home today ready for a beer after a long day of work and to my delight i see my bone head buddy next door with a chain to his bumper wrapped around a pine tree root . I stopped my work van and rolled down the window and asked him if he wanted a truck to pull that out . he said i have been waighting for you to get home as something is messen up with my truck . i asked him what happened .....well he has a 09 dodge ram single cab 2wd 3.7 ....after i inspected it he snapped his drive axle lol i had to cry and LMAO at the same time . so i got the mega drug him to the driveway got his truck parked and went after that tree ... put in 4wd tightened the slack and low gear and POP out comes a root ball the sice of a pool table . proud of my actions i look at my buddie and he says "well guess im getting a new truck " .
so the moral of the story is dont take a lil truck and a small engine to do a big trucks job or it will cost ya .
He is screwed because he just bought this truck so he is going to try to get it fixed under warranty . i find this funny and it made my day . thought id share ..back to my beer .

Sad thing is, even if your neighbor had a Mega Cab Hemi, if it's a 4x2 it's gonna have the same weak a$$ aluminum drive shaft. Dodge 4x4s have steel ones...

Wow hammer is wrong for once... 2wd quad cabs have the aluminum drive shaft but the 2wd rcsb have a steel drive shaft.... unless aluminum rusts
