well, actually I had 2 broken axles when I pulled it down, was dumping the load and it would not move, the air brakes on the rear were locked.
I was in the truck, rocking it, and it popped, broke an axle, when I pulled the axles both were broken. unbelievable, I have driven a few trucks tractors and dozers in my life, and when I say I rocked it, just barely. how in the blue blazes can you break an axel in a spicer 2speed split. it has 5.17 gears and 5speed with 7.3.
I just bought this truck form the army Vietnam museum, only has 45k miles on it, and the forestry service was the last to use it.
think it could have had a broken axle before I got it and it still pulled the truck?, I only made 1 load.
I do not know at this time if it is an open rear end or some kind of positrack.
any info would be helpful, of course spicer tells me my axles are used only on this model truck, "special use" or something, prolly ordered to army spec.
