Tough luck Ted. Hope everything turns out fine.
BTW, I would have been to your shop for some more work but I got laid off so plans got pushed back a bit.

I would agree if the tires showed any signs of abnormal wear but they don't, no rubber in the wheel wells either.
I think my theory may pan out, the dealer put the axles in and could not turn the car in the bay, the posi is locked up like a spool, which would do exactly what it did twist the axles off.

my motor isn't rotated, and i have no hop.
but to the op, it sounds very unlikely that in normal driving they just popped like that. sounds like there's more to the story. a kid lying to their parent because they don't want to get in trouble for doing something they shouldn't have been doing? impossible

Dealer pulled the trans, could not find any signs of Abuse, Quaif was locked up until they unbolted the ring gear then it freed up, there is some gauling of the surfaces so they are replacing the transmission under warrantee along with the axles.
Cost more to rebuild it than replace it.
