I’d also say kaaaiju (love the name) that you’ve had a stress fracture there for a while and that’s probably been the final straw, especially if you’re running lockers on stock axles.
Still not a good way to finish your day!

Yeah thats probably true, Ill put another axle in and see how long that lasts,
Is it worth taking the other one out and swapping it? The left? Also how much for HD cvs?
I think also the previous owner who had the lockers on his disco had 33's so the CVs could of be stressed from that and i finished it off haha.
Yes, all explainable...Quote:

This is extremely easy to do and explain...
Packed my D2 up as the family rig for a quick jaunt to Western Victoria to see the inlaws. Haven't got around to fixing the territory's air conditioning mixing fault (heater on full on the drivers side all the time due to snapped mixing rod). "What's that honey? The territory is still broken? I guess we're stuck with the Landy then." Yippee! [emoji23] Might have to leave the territory broken for a while....

As you can see the puff of black smoke from the exhaust when it failed

Puff of smoke is probably just the engine fuelling from the sudden loss of load and the electronic governor reacting to reduce and reapply power for a moment. I wouldn't read much into it.

Towed the Jayco camper out to West Bay Campground in Kangaroo Island & was chatting to a diesel troopy owner later. He asked me how I went driving in up the steep incline with the hairpin at the bottom.
Me: no issues, barely spun a tyre
Him: wow that’s great I had to stop 1/2 way up, lock my hubs, engage low range, then could keep going!
Love the Landy!
Dumped the coolant, did a flush with citric acid, dumped and flushed that, then added Cummins Tecinfinity coolant.
We'll see how the temps go, they were getting a little high under load.
Cleaned the plugs on the ECU and out of the head, plus the fuel water sensor plugs after having the warning lights and check engine lights come on.
Towed just under 700kg through 37 degrees ambient in slow stop start. Highest temp touched 90 degrees and apart from that as soon as traffic moved and back to 20kph plus she dropped down to 84 to 85. Love seeing the 4.6 not getting too hot.
Cheers
