Was it covered under warrenty? Why not?

Bill sent me a new one to Moab. I sent him the broken piece for analysis when I got home. I actually got the axles at a discount when I bought them as I was testing them for him. I also tested his 10 spline HD axles and broke them both at the same time, though I was hopping on rock with a welded diff at the time.
My GBR 24 spline axles and Detroit. Part of a GBR sticker is visible in the upper left. I don't believe I took a photo of it broken, but if you don't believe me, ask Bill as he knows me well. I don't see why you are so amazed as ANY axle can break given the right conditions. That's why so many rock crawler Rovers are going to Toy axles with the e-lockers, the stock or upgraded 24 spline coiler axles won't hold up to hard use. I've even seen a 109 Series 4 cyl break a Salisbury axle on Moab Rim.
