How the heck did you rip the line locks off the top of the diff??? They looked pretty safe from the pic I remember seeing.

Uhmmm...yeah me too.
Sent an unseen rather large log right over the top of the diff at speed.
It came out of a big mud puddle, so way to see it at all.

Tore everything the shatt, I'll be replacing the lone lock set up as it worked REALLY well but will do it a wee bit different this time 'round.

So....you tore out a front hardline and the line locks for the rear end were demolished. Besides maybe a boat anchor, did you have anything left to stop the truck at the end of the day???!?

, true a lot of damage but I still had good brakes.

Used the opposite end of the front line, screwed it back onto the hard-line and used a set of vice grips to block it off with.
In the rear, I was able to pull the solenoids out of the loop and remake the hard lines back into the distribution block, all was fine from there.

This time though, I'm just going to mount a single line lock solenoid up on the firewall near the master cylinder.
One will work as good as the both did before and in a single solenoid application, it will allow me to use it as a temp. parking brake too.
