Re: [MBZ] Blown up diff

When that happened to me, I drove it to my Indy, about twenty miles, after it cooled off (after I had it towed home). I broke the drive into two parts, stopping to let it cool before going over the Ravenel bridge. A seized rear axle on that bridge would be seriously no fun. -- Max Dillon

Re: [MBZ] Blown up diff
