First I got a phonecall from this girl telling me she was from ups and has a package for me "wúhoo" more marlin bling...
that was monday or tuesday I haven´t had time for anything else than ripping that thing open and petting the items for a few moments....

rest of the weak I drove around the city as normal and 1 or 2 times I left for a litle snow run.... nothing unusual...

today I had kinda long drive... when I was leaving I heard something snap I ditn´t find the truck strange so I kept going shortly I heard this hissing sound real low... nothing that kept me worrying... and real soon it was gone. or I ditn´t notise it any more cause the high speed I was driving (road noise)....  but after a while I heard this clunk.... something draging... I was trying to slow dow, wich was hard cause of the traffic any way I had to drive a litle bit before I cuold pull ower....  with a lot of clunking  and finally just before stopping a lout bang....

ok. I jump out and the first that I see is a part of my propeller shaft on the road a litle behind me. ( I have no idea how that came off that amases me....)
I go and pick that up have to run a litle bit because I was afraid of the traffic hitting it or something like that...  when I was walking back to my truck I see this large oil spill ... 
It was raining and really windy so that ditn´t improve things...

any way I get back to my truck and see a large gap in my extra fuel tank, and the center bar of my 3 link was loose.
what happened Is that the bar got somehow loose or the bolt wore out??? it had 2 nuts on the end to prevent it from falling out... that bar dropet to the propeller shaft wearing it down or something... and finally it snapped... cause I couldn´t stopp right away the shaft broke loose frome the drag link and the drag link hit my fuel tank...    any way... I jumped in my truck graped all the tools that I could find and started to unbolt the remainings of the shaft... and hurryed away cause I was so afraied of the cops pulling on me for spilling all that fuel on the road... (large fine)    I don´t have picks I just snapped one I think and the cam is still in the truck... I´ll see if I can post it tomorrow
