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.

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.
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.

It would seem that you would be much happier trading for another brand. Problem solved.

You just don't get it!

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!

A little light reading

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.

And to think, that took me 30 secs on the Google! Could have saved you sifting time if you spent the time whining researching instead.

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