Hey Bruce,

I sure am sorry to hear about all this. In reading all the details (good work) I would think the flywheel and clutch issues are a resulting failure but not causal. To me it sounds like the drive line is flexing at the extreme end of the load scale. You are stressing the thing far past the level mere mortals can dream. I would be looking at the trans, trans mounts, diff mounts, and rear end cradle. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a (partial) fatigue failure somewhere. Maybe at the cradle to main frame rail? Something in the driveline is moving out of alignment under (big) load resulting in a vibration.
