Drive with more mechanical sympathy;)

divulging the spec of your truck may help.

Land Rover half shafts snap easily too and their cv's fail also, along with their 2 pin diffs. Land Rover owners just pay lots of money to Mr Ashcroft for his shafts, cv's and lockers or ARB lockers.

Having said that, I know a chap that has won the Howling Wolf on standard shafts, due to mechanical sympathy.

Your solution lies with Mr Storr instead of Mr Ashcroft, or ease up on the right foot.
