The hole that ate my Truck

About a month ago I was messing around and I hit a mud hole that was a little deep. It messed up something so now my truck shakes pretty good. I was back out today and the hole was dried up so I took some pics.

Here it was after I hit it.

I think I learned my lesson today. This thing was pretty massive. It was probably 2.5 feet deep and 20 feet long. Im so lucky I didnt mess up more then I already did.

Do you know how many weights each wheel had?

There may have been more than one on a wheel and one fell off. So you think they are all there.

I wouldnt be worried about the weights, its the mudd that gets in there and only covers half the wheel will give you a shake from hell, and sometimes its hard to see in there might have to take the wheel off thats givin you the vibration and check it for mudd. If no mudd then i would take it for the balance.

Take your wheels off and wash the mud off the back of the rim. Been there and done that.

Most of the time I check the depth before I go through stuff, I do that since I hit a hole that was about 2 1/2' deep. I made it through, but popped the valance pins out, it scared the mess out of me too. That was a ton of water going over the hood.
