[QUOTE="Cowcatcher, post: 3270262, member: 43171"] Ohhhh boy! It's story time.......So there I was driving back home to Sarcoxie, MO which is East of Joplin from down off in Arkansas. I'd been down to a cattle sortin and had 9 horses in the gooseneck stock trailer. At that time I was driving a 2001 F350 crew cab dually. Not sure why I bought that particular truck other than it looked cool. I had one similar but it wasn't a crew cab and it had nothing fancy. The one I was driving this night had a like a 4" lift, big pipe bumpers, winch, bed rails made out of 4" pipe, a big headache rack with 6 or 8 of those big KC highlights on it, she had dual whip antennas on the mirrors and was white with like kinda metallic ghost flames coming up the hood and from front to back on the fenders. Light had to be just right to see the flames. My trailer was riding on a big rake and horses had to hang on so they didn't slide to the back. I'm rollin up 71 (now I think it's I-49) just north of Anderson, MO pulling that long hill and......pop! The RPMs shot up and I grabbed the handshaker and started trying every hole. Nooooooop, I told wife that I was pretty sure we just slung the driveshaft. We slid over to the side and I walked the ditch back. It was dark and I didn't have a flashlight but I got the driveline found and thrown in the back of the monster truck. I then hopped in the cab and wife said, what we gonna do? I said we gonna drive it home in front wheel drive like them rice burners n such. Yup truck never missed a lick. Fixed it the next day. I didn't own that truck long. It always got me home but man I had lots of things go wrong driving it. I think it had a curse.
