OK Mack guys, Here"s one for you..I drive a "98 Mack for snowplowing..I blew an axle shaft on it today..[rt side]..I drive it like I paid for it...No Lie.... Allison World trans. HD 6 speed..On a forward to reverse shift, I heard a bang..It backed up OK..When I shifted to forward it made a noise , like at every rotation of axle.. Hitched a ride back to shop, loaded my pickup with tools , pulled the axles and got it ready for a tow back to the shop..Can"t for the life of me understand why?? The other Mack went thru 3 axles in it"s life ..I sorta thought it was being horsed around , now not so sure..It was a 6 speed stick..Are they a weak link?? I wouldn"t think so...Any ideas....Thanks
