Axle as fragile as preteen self image

It is the rear axle shaft. The first was two winters ago wearing the stock pirellis and slid turning into the neighborhood and lost traction sliding the rear into a curb at less than 10 mph. Caused all types of clicking and brake failure due to the axle flange causing rotor to make contact with pads during rotation.

I didnt read anywhere where someone called you a liar. They said you omitting information.
I was pulled laterally in my ranger because I didn't kno I couldn't be pulled that way safely. My 28 spline 8.8" rear end held up. It is smaller than the 9.75" in the fifty.
I agree with RES4CUE and all the haters in this thread. Something wasn't originally said in this thread.
I'd take the advice of experienced members of this site and take a closer look at things under your truck.

If you are defending that, then you are part of the problem. Any good advice is washed away by the patronizing way in which it is delivered.

You might want to have included in your original post the fact that the first failure was due to what is commonly referred to as accident damage, which you seem to be confusing with some mysterious manufacturing or design defect. Pile-driving the axle into a cement curb, even at 10 MPH, given there's a couple tons of truck on top of that, would explain the problem.

Quote: My experience thus far as compared to other vehicles is that this truck is weak and has an Achilles heal Quote:
It would seem that you would be much happier trading for another brand. Problem solved.
PS: Achilles heel.

Stating that someone is omitting, misrepresenting and any other such word in this context without a shred of proof based on a feeling is calling someone a liar where I'm from. Now if you are raised by apes in a trailer that might seem ok, but for the rest of us it doesn't fly. It is incredibly presumptuous and could have been phrased as a query. If you would not say it to someone's face in polite conversation, then you shouldn't say it in a forum. So based on RES4CUE status as a senior member and the fact he "sensed" something. It's OK for him to be rude? Not only did he not deny it, he doubled down and then some. If you are defending that, then you are part of the problem. Any good advice is washed away by the patronizing way in which it is delivered.
Ps I'd say it to your face! I didn't say anything I wouldn't say in person! If you met me in a parking lot and came at me with your opening comments I'd come at you with the same comments!
Technically you're the presumptuous one the presume that these axles are so weak!
You've been told what to look for many times, where to find beefier parts and you still don't get it!

Before doing that test drive each brand and power slide them all into a curb to see if the axles are up to the task.

Now I'm just waiting for my axle to implode, thanks!
