Seriously.. How could you keep driving...
 
No explanation needed. This guy is an idiot.

What was this guy thinking..................it is pretty clear that he wasn't thinking at all.

This is pretty good.


Driveshaft Unbalance/Runout Sensitivity?


This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing
jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the
subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its
knees.

It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle
wrapped around the driveshaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it
high speeds.

This is what the dealership found..............

Hell no, mechanics love those kinds of people.

We would've charged $300 for removal of the mattress, probably another $500 for the gas tank install, then we would've farmed out the driveshaft for balancing at a 100% mark-up.

Looks like something my guys would do to my work trucks.

Hopped in one a while back and immediately noticed the brakes making some horrible sounds combined with jerking the truck, limped it to the shop to find the brake pad was completely missing on one side. Asked the guys if they noticed anything, nope not a thing.

This happened to my cousins D-max the other day. a mattress flew off a truck up a head and he couldn't avoid running over it did the same thing to the drive shaft but it locked up his rear and almost put him in to the ditch. It ripped his exhaust off and the heat shielding, bashed up the floor boards and bent the drive shaft. And he said something else happened to his t case.
