It's pretty easy to break axles, sometimes when it seems like you were doing nothing at all. I've broken dozens of them over the years - much bigger stuff than they use in the Ram, and all it takes is no traction and then an instant of traction. Mud is the easiest place to break shafts.

You see there is this girl named Dana, and she used to make axles for everyone regardless of whether it was a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Jeep, etc.

finally got over and go some pictures of the damage. and YES...warrenty is taken over! axel should be in tomorrow. I have to send these pictures in to pro-comp so they can send me new brake lines. other than that, pieces are coming together and looking good. then i can put my leveling kit on :-)

wow...i didnt expect those pictures to get that big...anyway...
first pic is of the "dog bone" as they call it. i had to use that red strap to hold it in place while i drove it home.
second pic is of the brake cables dangling. they were ripped out when the dog bone was flying around.
third pic is where the brake cables should be connected to. as u can see al the gunk all in there all over the wheel that caked on after it was spraying everywhere.
forth pic is the brake lines dangling again.
