Broke Both Front Axles
I broke my axles while doing basicly nothing!
I was just in reverse with a trailler in a small hill
and them I heard a stripping noise and that it.
I could believe they are so whippy.

i'm guessing he means both front cv's. and depending on the hill size/incline and wieght of trailer i find it very believable.ce2flaco said:You have two front axles?

I was suprise.

Most likely had the wheels turned when backing up a hill. Lots of stress on the front axles that way.
No I wheel was strait
maybe at most 12 degree hill
Trailler was empty so around 1500 lbs

break u joints
One time a long time ago (1973) I had a 3/4 ton Dodge power wagon full of gravel. I backed up and put on brakes in 4wd. The front brakes stopped the front wheels and the rear wheel brakes did not stop the rear wheels. The front end U joints both broke. It made a very loud noise when they both broke.
I learned a lot that night. Two wheel drive and easy on the brakes when hauling a heavy load. Yes I do agree the front end U joint or cv joint which ever you have is the weak point of drive train.
