2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission This is getting absurd, wifey packing my bags

[OTRPU]

Well, waited a couple months, got my less than 10,000 mi Cummins rebuild. Rebuild it again, hit the road pulling my 26 ft 5er back to Indiana, Engine sounded good, felt good, was taking it easy wanting this one to last forever. transmission felt good. . . everything seemed to be perfect. 1,131 miles later, 25 MPH rounding a 90 degree corner. . . right rear axle falls off. Yep, looked in the mirror and watched a set of duallies leaving the truck. Think fast now, you gotta land without crashing the 5er into anything. . . and try to land where they can get to you with a hook. Anybody know where I can get a rear axle cheap that's in decent condition? DOC looked at it and said, well, it won't be fixed today. I really need a good deal on some parts fast. Email is only way to contact since I left my cell phone in Colorado. Truck was out of the shop for 24 hours. Got a trailer to deliver, need to get back on the road fast. Or how about renting me your truck. . . fat chance.



Cheers,

Did you check the TDR classifieds? I was looking the other day & it seems like there was a dually axle for sale.



Good Luck,
