Re: Yup, they were right.

It is a broken rear yoke, and of course ruined a U joint.  Put a ding in the driveshaft, but I think it will be OK. The driveshaft was set up for  7290 U joints, but the diff .yoke is for a 7260 using a combo U joint.  I will get a 7290 yoke that uses  the U bolts instead of the cap straps. Crunch time as the local car show is Saturday. ....................................MO

New Nitto drag radials  are mounted .

 They were right-- get some traction tires and the next weak link will show up.  Still have the fuel bog.  The driveshaft let loose at I think a U joint. Stuck out on a highway, getting towards dark , and very little shoulder.  Got the car pulled to a side road and called a tow truck. . He was able to park it right in my garage. I was so aggravated , I didn't want to even look...afraid to find a broken yoke and a bent driveshaft.( new)..  I will find out the bad news tomorrow..............................MO
