Howdy all,

Well, the R/T finally broke. The driveshaft broke at the pinion yoke Sat =
evening. I was running down a Toyota Tacoma (turns out it was a SC'd =
truck) when at an excessive rate of sped the D/S twisted off. $25 tow to =
the house. Oh BTW, the guy in the Toy was nice enough to give me a lift =
home. Called DC and had it towed to the dealer today. Service manager =
was amazed at how the cap screws were just twisted right off. Looked to =
me like when the dealership did the TSB on the drive line last year the =
tech over tightened the cap screws and stretched them a bit.=20
Oh well, 17,989mi and still under warranty!
