California trip - Blown Drive Shaft =\
So, my truck is in the shop till today down here in CA. I guess the drive shaft on my truck was going all i could hear was the scrapping and pinging noise when i accelerated and decelerated...
They said that where the two portions of the drive shaft connect was shot..
There goes 600 bucks.. it sucks.

Well..
I was driving and all of sudden i hit Vegas.. so like 500+ miles into the trip i hear my a noise everytime i let off the gas its like the scrapper bads on the brakes and thats what i thought it was.. SO i get to Huntington beach where i was staying and took the truck in the next day.
They called and said its coming from inside the drive shaft and its 800 for a new one or 500 for a rebuilt one. And i said rebuild it. So they re-machined it and rebalanced it and added new u-joints and all that jazz.

You got on the 71? And yes the 91 sucks. I take that damn freeway everyday to work. I leave an hour and 10 minutes before I start work just in case. It took me 3 hours to get home one day. But that was when I got off during rush hour.
