Crazy. I have never seen a broken one.

Sorry about broken your crank, but sounds like you had a decent amount of miles on it. I've heard the earlier non- HO versions up to '83 had problems with broken cranks due to smaller main crank journal and no cross-drill, but I think the S-10 RWD may not have receive the changes in the same time frame if at all. Curious what weight of oil were you running and how often were the changes?

It was not my S-10. I found and posted the video after reading that broken cranks were usually 3rd party events that could never be verified.
