Loud bang from my rear end.

Take it to the closest garage. think about the what if, i need a wrecker 60 miles away from the closest shop...expensive tow charge.

good luck

 

Sounds like an axel went or part of the power divider exploded.

if you can drain the front rear and check for metal I would.

mine had massive chunks in it and had to put in a $2400 power divider.

 

his truck will move with divider locked in. but not with it unlocked. busted axle.

i'm guessing you were either starting off on a very steep incline or releasing the clutch before the brakes were released. those are the two biggest reasons drivers pop axles. or you got stuck in some loose material of some sort.

 

I second the busted axle.

 

They will bust or shatter at hub sending peices into your wheel bearings. I would get it towed if it was me.

 

Ya, you should get it towed. The tow operator will disconnect your drive shaft before towing it also. Going to cost you around $800.

 

had a similar problem, I let the oil get too low in front rear end but got really lucky, it got the power divider only, the ring gear and pinion were not hurt, I locked power divider in and truck moved fine no noise or popping, so I would check power divider

 

I'm surprised nobody made a joke given the title of this thread
