    Had that happen to a truck at a former place of employment. Our own employees split the rear most rear end and reasealed it, but forgot to refill the rear end. About 50 miles later it locked up while getting on I-15. I got tapped to go get it mobile again.

    Arrived at the scene about 30 mins after it locked up. I pulled the axle shafts on the seized axle and the drive shaft between the 2 rear ends. Locked the interlock and drove it to the shop. Total time the truck was disabled at road side was just shy of 1 hour.

    Once we opened it up at the shop we had to replace all the seals and gearing in that rear end. Had the truck back on the road in 2 days.

    No sign of overheating on rear end gauge?

    My opinion.

    Tub shower unit in second bath.

    Michigan dogs are far superior to any other style dog but unless you go to Northern NY you may never get one.

    A young man asked his grandfather: ′′ Grandpa, how did you live in the past without technology:
    Without computers
    Without internet
    No drama
    No TVs
    No weather
    No cars
    No cell phone?

    Grandpa answered:
    ′′ As your generation lives today:
    No prayers
    No compassion
    There is no respect
    No education
    No personality
    No shame
    There is no modesty ′′
    There is no honesty
    We, the people born between 1940-1980, were the blessed...
    Our life is living proof.

    While playing and riding bikes, we never wore a helmet.

    Before school then we played until dusk; we never watched TV.

    We played with real friends, not virtual friends.

    If we were thirsty, we drank water from the tap, and not mineral water

    We never got sick because we shared the same glass of juice with four friends.

    We have never gained weight by eating pasta plates everyday.

    Nothing happened to our feet despite the wandering with bare feet.

    We have never used food supplements to stay healthy.

    We used to make our own toys and play with them.

    Our parents weren't rich. They gave love.. not the material.

    We never had a cell phone, DVD, game console, Xbox, video game, PC, internet, chat, but we had real friends.

    We visited our friends without being invited and shared and enjoyed the food with them.

    Parents lived nearby to take advantage of family time.

    We may have had black and white photos, but you can find colorful memories in these pictures.

    We are a unique and most understanding generation, because we are the last generation that listened to their parents...
    And we are also the first ones who were forced to listen to their children.

    We are a limited edition!
    Take advantage of us. Learn from us.
    We are a treasure intended to disappear.

    That's pretty much what happened. No oil in the rear end.
    Looks like things are coming together.
    The guy at Loves wasn't ugly at all to me, seemed like he just wanted to work things out and get it behind them.
    Really, at this point, it's all about lost wages.
    I told him $500......he said $200. I pulled my quarterly statement from Schneider and if I had driven every single day since January 1, it would be $368.
    So, there we are.

    I have no idea what you're talking about.
    I've never heard of a rear end gauge.
    The only rear end gauge I have is the one that tells me it's time to take a poop.
