Jeremy,
I don`t think you are going to find much in Carlin, the next largest
town going east is Elko. And even there as far as Mercedes it`s a crap
shoot. Looking at the map it`s about 23 miles to Elko, but from there it`s
not much to Salt Lake.

As far as the drive line there is the flex disk on each end and the center
support bearing and universal.

I don`t know how good those rebuilt axles are, I have replaced my r/r
twice. it would klunk and tick. but not all the time, it would come and
go. If it is one of the axles, you might be able to limp into S/L and find
a MB shop and or dealer.

I feel for you out in the middle of no where. something about 85 300D`s
and Nevada. we broke the timing chain july 4th east of Winnemucca mile
marker 42.

So I think your choice is Reno or S/L.

Charlie

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
