    Drivetrain Vibration Issue
    This blonde ran over a mattress and decided to keep going.

    The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank.

    The subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

    It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

    This blonde complained that the vehicle had a “shimmy” when driving at high speeds.

    This is what the dealership found . . .

    Yeah that sounds about right. Had a similar mess under a work vehicle once, driving through thick grass and hit a bundle of old fencing wire about that size. This was out near Narrabri, where the grass, trees, dirt, sheep, everything has bloody spines on it!!! Jammed the driveshaft up so that the ute wouldn’t move, in only about 30 metres! We started in with pliers but it was wrapped too tightly. We were about to call someone, get a lift into town and get some bigger tools when we remembered we had some boltcutters in the ute. Thank goodness. 2 hours in 40°+ heat under the ute, crawling around in spiney shit and we had it going again. And kept a good lookout for wire after that! That was my blonde moment!B)

    70hp Tractor + rotary hoe + fencing wire = same result.
