I do all the work on all my vehicles.
The town equipment i do 90 percent of the work. Farm out the rest.
I blew the transfer case on the town 1 ton about a month ago and just didn't have time to fix it as we were in a stretch of snowy weather and we were putting in a lot of OT as it was so I "called a guy".
We got it back about a week ago and all was well.......until today.
I could feel a vibration in it while i was plowing this morning so i stopped and checked the wheels and they were all tight so i figured it was probably one of the outer u joints on the front axle.
Finished up the road i was on and backed it into the garage.
Driver side joint was ok... passenger side was ok......hmmm.
Guess i've got to crawl under this dripping, slimy rig.
Grab the front drive shaft and it's ready to fall out. 3 of the bolts are gone only 1 holding it to the transfer case. Check the 4 bolts on the rear shaft and can turn them all with my fingers
This is why i hate someone else working on my stuff.
