Re: Winter Blazer Pics
Well, my gift from my K5 to me for all the winter driving I did was to cough up the front drive shaft. 30+ year old CV joint couldn't hack it anymore. Last snow we got i was driving home from the airport at midnight and noticed a wicked vibration from the front end after i shifted into 4hi for the ride home. It wasn't a lot of snow, but I've been a passenger in a bronco that rolled on less so the use of 4hi was just out of precaution. 50 ft with the drivline shaking and I decided to take the risk in 2wd and take it easy on the way home. Further inspection revealed a ton of newfound slop in the front drive shaft. $94 later in parts to get it rebuilt and we won't see any more snow! Just spring wheeling!
