that's too bad but I have seen it often. some 14 bolts are literally junk yard jewels gotten for $100-200, add oil and never touched again. others get the full make over and the kid's college fund and blow up. but the gov-bomb unit is usually the culprit. many here have had their gov-loc 14bolt last forever in stock applications and basic usage. but add tires, torque, towing, etc and they come apart, sometimes in spectacular fashion.
