Like clock work December is fisting me......
Wife was out Christmas shopping. She was coming to a light and had slowed already when she feels a vibration and weird noise. She pulls into a parking garage and then the driveshaft falls out.
WTF?!?!?
Here's the kick in the balls - the U joint and pinon flange are still attached to the driveshaft The pinon nut is trapped between the u joint and the flange. All the threads are good on the pinon. I've never seen that happen before.
Pics later, just spent $400 getting it towed home because it was 85 miles from the house
Gotta jack it up and I'm praying the ring gear & pinon aren't fucked.
One of my mechanic buddies tells me he's seen it at least 4 times this yr with Dodge's. Anyone else here seen or heard of this?

*** The December to Remember Santa's a Fatass TRAIN ***
My Dodge truck had that problem , i caught it before it fell out . It was puking gear oil every where . I think at one point Dodge actually recalled some trucks for the same problem . It sucks that it came apart on her . Bet she was happy ! Thank god it didnt happen going 80 mph .

I have no fewer than three recall notices on the table for that very issue for my Ram truck, as well as three for the airbag recall. I have ignored them all because the 'fix' is to take it in and they apply loctite to the nut. I've already loctited my own nut because I had to change the pinion seal.

honestly, I read the horror stories about overtightening online (crush sleeve on the pinion gear, over tight and bye bye bearings) and only ran it back on as tight as I estimated it was coming off. I figured if anyone is screwing up my stuff it's gonna be me.

'Tis the Season... temps in the teens on the way and our furnace at the house hard faulted last night and again today.

figue out what the problem was? Pretty simple to diagnose really. I work on mine every damn year it seems like. It's in the crawl space under the house and a furnace loves nothing more than damp dirty crawl spaces. I'd like to punch the guy in the face that thought that was a good idea. If I had known more about houses when buying this house that would've been a deal breaker. The upside is I'm damn near a certified furnace repairman now because I've replaced damn near everything on that piece of shit the last 14 years.
First place I would start is the t-stat since that's the easiest and make sure it's calling for heat. Next place after that I would look is the inducer fan because that's the next step in the process. Actually....the second place I would check is the doors on the furnace and make sure they didn't get bumped open a little or something and open the door switch. After that it would be the inducer motor or vacuum line to the switch from the motor. That motor pulls vacuum on a switch to close it.Last edited by 0rion; 12-13-2016 at 05:06 PM.

That's certainly where I'd rather be. The older I get, the more I hate cold weather. Maybe later this year or next year though. A friend of mine just bought himself a little sailboat to play with, and he's going to keep it in Tortola (BVI). Here's the kind of boat he got:
Lagoon catamarans : building, sale and chartering of luxury cruising catamarans

yeah.....that's how you do a boat. Also at that level of boat you're having some other poor bastard work on it although those boats aren't built like a cheap ass fishing boat. My friends dad has a chris craft we went out on a few years back. Night and day to any other boat I've ever been on.

Well after some searing Dodge forums....
Tighten no more than 210ft lbs of tq. Best post I saw from a Dodge service tech was to take it to 195ft lbs and test preload, if not in the preload range, tighten 10 more ft lbs but to not exceed 210ft lbs.
Preload on new bearings 15-35 in lbs

Has anyone been seeing stories of GM possibly coming out with a Chevelle in 2017?
I say this with a pinch of salt because all the "pics" of it are 5th Gen Camaro's with different front end, hood and tail. But the body is no doubt a 5th/6th gen body.
I have also seen some with a different body style as well.
