Finished up my truck tonight, and I noticed the u bolts holding the drive shaft on are a little loose. Tried to tighten them up and twisted it right off....

Looks like the truck is gonna spend one more night inside after all. I was hoping to go for a test drive tonight and drive it to work tomorrow but I guess it'll have to wait now till tomorrow night....

Too cold to test drive tonight, probably lucky in the long run.

Better to catch it now than having to pick your driveshaft up off
the road.

Extremely true, but still frustrating. I should have put a wrench on it last night. Then today when I was getting a brake hose for the passenger side (or later on, calipers for both sides) I could have gotten those as well. I guess I'll have to head over to the autoparts store after the dentist tomorrow afternoon.

So far I think my parts and materials costs are a little over $500 for everything. Couldn't imagine if I had to have a shop do it, although it would've been done in a day or 2, instead of 2 weeks.
