Axle Wrap
With all the snow we have be getting here in KCK I have noticed that I'm getting a lot of wheel hop from the back end. So far when I have looked wheel hop is a symptom of axle wrap which could lead to breaking drive line parts.
So the question is the best fix for Axle Wrap for a guy without a welder?

Wheel hop is a problem on dry pavement when the instant on/off traction loads parts of the truck up. I wouldn't expect a lot of wheel hop on snow when there is little traction. When are you getting the hop? Do you have weight in the bed of that beast?

I get most of the hop when transferring from snow to dry road and I have maybe 200 lbs or so of ballast in the bed.
I guess that would work too.
