I broke an axle on a 2007 386. I had to lock the rears in and limped it about 80 mi to the nearest Pete shop in Bangor. Never hurt anything and I was scaled at 80k with a load of lumber and ran pretty much the speed limit (65 - 70 mph) the whole way.

I called the carrier for a tow truck,.. he said to limp it to the Pete dealer. I did as I was told. I had heard it was not good,.. he sad he had gone over 300 mi with a broken axle in another truck with no problems. So I rolled with it.

That was 2 1/2 years ago and other than that axle,.. its had no other rear end problems. Carrier still owns the truck.

I’m doing this now. How much did it cost to repair?

I'm in the same situation, loaded at 70500 pounds net and still have 300 miles to go. Still safe?
