Re: rear axle truss
Of you get a axle truss. Be careful when welding. One of the mechanics I use is a 4x4 shop. He says it's more common then you think to create a slight bend in a axle.
With usual symptoms being oil leaks. |

Re: rear axle truss
I think he is referring to the bolt on type. Back when these trucks were newer that is what was common.

Re: rear axle truss
