You folks can huff and puff, wish all this wasnt true, try and close your eyes to the simple facts, but there they are. Your attempts to find excuses for the simple obvious facts are just plain silly.
Pete, everyone has a right to their opinion, but when you just go around telling everyone they are wrong, and your only cite "your were there" as your source of information, then that starts to grate people. Just like paint....memories fade, and I think your are trying to interject your opinions as fact. One broke axle becomes two, and after 50 years of telling the same story it morphs into that they would break if you looked at them wrong. I'm not saying that you didnt replace a few axles in your time, but to claim that they were all bad without any backing document is once again opinion. Which is different than fact.
There is nothing wrong with debate, but when your canned arguement is always "I was there, you were not", then eventually people stop valuing your input, and start rolling their eyes, and you end up in the same category as the guy standing on the street corner talking to himself.
When Packard had an issue with the Dana axles in 56, they released a letter to the service departments about the problem. The problem was a Dana error, but Packard took car of it. I think (opinion, not fact, see the difference?) that if there was an epidemic of faulty, or inferior axles in 1951 or any other year, then we would have found something in STBs, SCs, Zone Letters, etc. But yet, nothing has surfaced to that affect. So if you would like to provide us with a copy of such a document, then I will be the first to say you were right, and I was wrong. Now I am not saying that a tree falling down in the forest doesnt make a sound when no one is around, i'm just saying that I didnt hear it.
