Rear axle blew up in the S-15 (pics)
I bought a old S-15 for $100 to use when my truck is down. Well the rear axle has been making some noise the past week and it finally locked up the other day. The pinion bearing went out and the pinion gear was bound up with the ring gear, So I cut the ring gear out and removed the drive shaft. It run pretty good with just the front axle pulling it around
