DRIVESHAFT FELL OUT OF MY 2012

Icepuck72 · Feb 29, 2012

did you get pics of this scene? I'm assuming Police and Fire were involved as well.

What loaner did they give you to drive if it's been 30 days?

Yoytoda · Feb 29, 2012

wait....

if the drive shaft fell i dont think itd even reach pavement since its a 2 peice. the shaft running from the t case to the carrier bearing is really short and even if it did, it would likely tear the carrier apart and come apart before "launching the truck...

I dont know what you guys are talking about with the Troll crap. Dont really care; that is what happend. You can take it as you wish, you wanna see it, come to the Toyota collision center where it is. I am a PE, know my shit about failures and this is what happened. Just figured some of you would want to know. Those of you who dont care, dont post a responce.

Interesting... Just a thought but if the shaft fell out of the transfer case, it couldn't drop, the carrier bearing would keep it help up. It'd have to separate at the slip yoke and catch an area in the road perfectly for it to vault itself.

So... this should get interesting.

Given the curb weight of the truck and the likely hood that the shaft fell and got caught on the pavement and stayed in the middle long enough for it to catch on pavement (no moving of the shaft from left to right) and you were going 45 mph, I personally think the shaft would have gotten pushed to the side without "polevaulting" you in to oncoming traffic.

Also you said the 2012 was a typo but you made 2 typos which I also think this is leading you to troll status,

Just seems kind of out there and you're under 10 posts....sounds "trollish". Can't blame us for wondering.....

ColtsTRD · Feb 29, 2012

God damn man! That's some scary shit...I wonder how in the fuck that happened! I hope it all works out and I'm glad your okay

RockyMtnTRD · Feb 29, 2012

It just seems odd that it launched the truck high enough in the air to reach oncoming traffic at 45mph

What Fire Dept responded to this accident?

pudge151 · Feb 29, 2012

i saw a mythbusters once and they tried to get a car to polevault from a dropped driveshaft and they just could not do it under any circumstance

Right, thats what I was thinking, being a "2012" seems like trying to bash their reputation to me. PICS PICS PICS, hard to believe you have no pics in this situation
