    Managed to get it home.

    Damn man. That is an assembly usually unforgiving. You're lucky you hobbled it home.

    High mileage, loss of lube, burnouts at every stop sign? What killed it?

    Ah, RHPAW.
    Like my brother is fond of saying, "they're cheap".

    Rode hard, put away wet is never cheap and I wanna smack Mr. Disposable Income every time he says that. Never offers to pay either, bastard....

    Sorry about the rant. I feel better now.

    So, rebuild rear end or make truck yard art? I say rebuild, hands down. Yard art is so overrated. Hope this isn't your daily driver you're talking about...

    So, are you saying it hauls garbage, or should be hauled away as garbage?

    Don't tell Commander Scott I said that...

    Age and lube, not necessarily loss of. When I bought the VXAmobile I was puzzled by a whine on acceleration I never heard with any other car. I pulled out the manual and discovered the gearbox and rear end, I mean front end it being front wheel drive filled with, get this, automatic transmission fluid! WTF??? This buggy had a manual gearbox! Alright, got nothing to lose, I drained both of the browned watery liquid and filled them with 120W gear oil. The whine disappeared and shifting went from slammy to slushy, home made words, home made fix, it's all good. Now Charles, you can take that for what it's worth, and the rest of you just may avoid our barman's exploding pumpkin.
