    Broken rear drive shaft ears!!!

    Hey all, I'm new here but I need some help. My 98 expy was recently towed by my neighborhood scam/tow company. Upon getting it back, I took it for a spin around my development and heard a loud rumbling/shaking from under the truck when I accelerated. I let off gas and it stopped but when I...
