Driving northbound hwy 101 out of San Francisco going down the Waldo Grade, lost 2 u-joints and the drive shaft from the transmission to the transfer case. IN the slow lane, managed to dodge traffic and coast into Sausalito and park it out of the way by Glassdoor.com. Had it towed to a mechanic so repairs can be initiated, plus I needed a place to park it, no overnight parking allowed in town. I am in the process of moving 20 miles north to Petaluma, all tools and manuals are packed up.
The search for replacement parts is on, thought I would check here first for the collective wisdom, so please advise.
Thinking back, the last few times I have been driving the powerwagon, more noise and clunks were occurring, so I should have heeded the warnings that Dodges give. I wonder if the fatigue happened due to mis-alignment of the drive train? The rubber engine and transmission mounts are shot and need replacement, where to find those?
The tow driver found this a quite interesting tow.
