I suspect it was most likely wear just north of the axles.
He didn't say there was anything particularly wrong between the torque converter and the

In that case, it sounds like you just got a bum nut from the factory.
They'd usually last 1/4 million miles. Look in your owner's manual
for the towing specs and don't exceed them in the future.
Go in fourth and sin no more. Got it.
I buy ex-rental cars so I expect their first 30K miles to be 'rough'.
And for moving, hire college kids with a bigass truck. It's cheaper in
the long run, easier on the old bod, and LOTS faster.
Nuh Uh. Lost an impact wrench, some drill bits and prolly other stuff when I did that.

Seal and mark all boxes well, counting them off as they come into the
house. Use fiberglass-reinforced tape. Write on both the tape and box
so you can tell if someone has replaced it after pilfering. It takes
negligible more time to do it this way. I lost a digging bar made from
a Mopar torsion bar when I moved here, and I lost my copy of MS Office
97 to them, somehow.
Neither was in a sealed box, damnit.
