That is odd..... It should have lasted longer. Perhaps you have another issue that is putting too much strain on the pin?

My buddy Chris has a 169. We replaced the driveshaft in it and the pin also..... I think he mentioned the other day that he was still having issues also. We haven't looked into it yet.... and my memory is not great, so I don't remember details. He will be in here today as I'm working on one of his trucks. I'll ask him.
