    Freightliner will get the job done....just the parts from Brazil...only place that is made so I have to wait for it to get here. I just cant believe that if it is made there, then they should have one around and could have shipped it on a fricking jet already to the states. My guess is they are paying an illegal to get it to the states from Brazil.

    It's clearly different. There are actual hills in Landrum, SC.

    I don't think anyone has asked, was the replacement Ujoint greased on a specified maintenance? I've had a joint fail and had it make it to the yard the the clunk really loud back there. 2 new joints in the small shaft between diffs and I was rolling.

    I would figure you could get used parts from Richard Kerns in atlanta and get the truck rolling.

    Also, maybe a mechanic or manager there at Freightshaker is a friend of Blackwells. Giving you the run around. Anyways.. bad situation to be in.
