Dont be a dummy, FIX things!!!!!

This is what happens when you have all the free time in the world, but are just to friggin lazy to go fight with the truck!!!!! No, it did not come apart on the road. I changed it out this morning. I don't think it would have made it much farther...

Another example of lack of Preventative Maintenance. Atleast you got to it before it come apart on the road. Alot of people think these trucks (15+ years old) should last forever which with care they might, but there is maintenance along the way.

Mine went out 80 miles from home, and on a Sunday. I thought my truck should last forever too, I should be able to jump in it anytime and drive around the world. Lesson learned.
