So a few weeks ago I was out riding, went through a not so bad hole, broke rear axle (Cobra) and continued driving through some extremely bad mud/water trail when I heard a few popping noises in rear. Rear started locking up off and on but I finally made it out with the help of some riding buddies who pulled me through 85% of the trail and back to my truck.
So it was in the shop where after the tranny was pulled it was found that 2-3 gears where broken (badly). It looked like (possibly) the bearing was cracked and a ball might have gotten wedged between the gear causing complete failure within the pinion gear assembly section (if I’m saying that right).
Lucky for me warranty is covering all but the taxes.
