A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I was driving to my sisters on Thanksgiving of all days and while making a left turn off of a highway the truck started making noise and the brake pedal started acting up (shuttering, went to the floor) and I looked out my passenger rear door window and could see my right rear tire. I am not sure yet what happened but the entire right rear axle with tire still attached came all the way out and left me stranded. Thank God I was going slow by then or my son and I might have been in a rollover crash or caused more damage.

I called a wrecker and he brought it to his mechanic and the mechanic must be out of town for Thanksgiving because I have not been able to get in touch with him to find out what the damages are going to be. I have babied this truck and cannot imagine how this could have happened. I wanted to report it in case anyone else has had this problem.
