Yep. Last month my'06 F150 suddenly started vibrating with a noise indicating a rotating part rubbing against something. A quick look confirmed the steady bearing on the two piece drive shaft had parted company with the cross member due to rust. Thankfully the cell phone still worked and a 15 minute ride got the old beastie to a garage.
The bad news was they couldn't just replace the steady bearing. The whole drive shaft had to be replaced.
I keep telling myself we don't need the truck since we sold the horse trailer. But the drive shaft likely doubled the value of the truck.
Perils of the salt belt.
