    Yes. So hopefully they're nothing on backorder. But even so I can probably find the part myself

    It’s really not that bad, just some air lines. Even with labor, can’t be that much.Looks like quick connectors are broken inside the brake valve. That might tough, but the rest just replacing lines. The yoke? Maybe a new seal. The power divider can be ran straight with plastic line, if needed. Probably have to extend the existing one. Don’t know your situation, thought maybe I could suggest a shop.

    Well, you can probably rest assured, THAT won't happen again, but that's trucking. Once, I ran over a plastic bag, it got caught on the rear axle, wound around the driveshaft,( like a million times) and took the seal out. It was a bitxx getting that out too. :dontknow:

    Is that insurance related? You hit something in/on the road.


    The truck in front of me ran over it, it went into the air. I went over it and it caught the driveline

    Good news is broker called and was super cool about it. We laughed at how freak of an accident it was. He said do what you got to do they'll get it when they get it.

    Probably not worth having it towed again, to save money. At least you know they’ll fix it right. I don’t really know any shops in Memphis. But parts won’t be much. They’ll have everything. Just looking at the pictures, I can only guess, $400 parts, if you need a new brake valve, air lines are only $20 each for the chamber, Pinion seals cheap. Total maybe 6 hrs labor max. Ofcourse that’s just a wild guess. Add tax, environmental fees, shop clean up fees. We’re a Dealership fees. Fee processing fees. Lol. Shouldn’t be too bad. Main thing is to get rolling. Best of Luck. Thought maybe you were near my area, I’m home now. Wouldn’t hesitate to help if possible.
