Deer Hunt Casualty

Deer season opened this weekend in ND and deer weren't the only things getting popped.  Here's a pic of a neighbor's truck that couldn't go no mo.  I guess something has to give in high speed pursuits.

 

 

Here you can see the path the differential left in the ground after the axle broke:

 

And the result:

Guess it is time for a new front axle.

Hey all it needs it a little liquid steel and it can be as good as new if you find the piece that broke out!!!

Oh man, why did you half to post these pictures……Now all the all the girls in this forum with late model GM trucks will really think IFS is stronger than a solid front axle.  

 

My money says that old 76’ K10 has already beat about 100,000 miles more backcountry bush than any IFS truck ever could.

High speed pursuit?  Your suppose to shoot them not chase them down.  Cheesh!

I'd hate to think what would have happened to a GM truck with IFS had it been in that situation.  But I doubt if one would have gotten that far back into the field to begin with.

 

I wonder how high the truck was in the air before it came down?  LOL

Actually, there was a mid 90's Chevy withi IFS not too far behind.  It's not that rough out there, just have to be aware of rocks and holes.
