While this doesn’t show broken pieces, (it’s inside the power divider unit) the driver was going up hill with a loaded dump truck.
Shifted a gear and boom. Something broke.
What’smy boss is that this is the second time the unit has been out since it was rebuilt last fall after breaking.
We do not know yet whether this is driver error (only 2 weeks of driving since getting his license) or the abuse the previous driver did to this truck last year.
Previous driver only worked spring, summer and fall with our company before getting fired for wrecking dump truck parts.pushbroom, Itsbrokeagain, AModelCat and 2 others Thank this. -
90% of trans and diff failures I see are either shock load or running out of lubricant due to lack of Preventative maintenance.

I can't find it on Youtube but I've got an old (like 1980s VHS old) video from one of my instructors on a flash drive. It was either an Eaton or Merritor video called Beyond The Limits. Quite interesting seeing the engineers abusing the driveline on the skid pad and the resulting failures. Stuff like locking in the lockers with a 20 MPH wheel spin and all that jazz.

Goodysnap: at least this time the diff had clean 8 months old oil.
So we’ll put this as driver abuse.
Unless the 425 3406B is too powerful to be a dump truck engine.
Uses a 15 speed tranny.650cat425 Thanks this. -
AmodelCat: even if it’s an old video, I’ll still watch it
650cat425 and Roberts450 Thank this.
