Broke something...

Post by bigman78 »

Ok, heres the story. Me and my dad went to pickup 4 units of fence board (dump trailer weighed in at 13,140). Anyways we load it up and head over to my uncles house. When we get there it needs to be in the backyard which means using the alley. Long story short he gets stuck. So the neighbors got an 80' something toyota, he comes over and hops around a bit. We decide to go get my truck :D So I go get it and hook up the PTO. It pulls him into the fence post. So I pull closer and hook up again and everything on the winch spins but the spool. :cry: So I broke a weld somewhere. So we hook up a chain and put it in 4low. As soon as I hit the gas I here something snap and my stick starts shaking side to side. :cry: It felt like the whole tranny was shaking badly. Anyways,I broke some kind of mount I think. Probably motor mount or tranny mount. Any ideas??

i see you have a 429, did you use L&L mounts? sounds like one broke to me too, cant be sure but would cause a bunch of shaking.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

The L&L mounts are prone to breaking.

If not a mount then check the ring and pinion. They bust when pulling hard in reverse in a front D44. Probably not in your case, but its a thought for ya.
