One tire won't spin when jacked up?

How drive shafts can kill you ...

That's a good one about the drive shaft. You have to skim through a lot of fluff before getting to the meat and potatoes in the last couple of paragraphs.

I was expecting something like the driveshaft busting off while driving and jamming into the ground and causing the vehicle to flip over and explode or something like that.

Oh well. I guess next time I'm wearing baggy clothes while reaching around a spinning driveshaft underneath my jacked up dump truck, I'd better be extra careful.

Reminds me of a story about a kid working at Dairy Queen who got her hair caught in the Blizzard machine. Be careful out there, kids.

P.S.... That's a good video explanation of Posi also. Definitely worth the few minutes it takes to watch it. Thanks for the links!

An all time favorite movie scene:

The car that made these two, equal-length tire marks had positraction. You can't make these marks without positraction, which was not available on the '64 Buick Skylark!

That ticking noise could be something as simple as the head of a nail or screw in your tire that you have run over. This has happened to me. Check the simple things first. You could be tearing into things that dont need fixing.
