Or the other type, loss of drive.
So you’re thinking clutch, halfshaft, diff maybe?
No, loss of drive meaning loss of traction, because the trucks on it’s side and the wheels are pointing at the moon 
mattaid:
Reason alot of dealers fit new parts can be down to cost is it cost efficent to fix the part on an hourly rate or fit a new part you have to work out the overall cost , when you have you own fitters on your fleet your only paying there wage so cost does not had up so much playing with old parts. when on roadside you get to talk direct to drivers as to what has happened so you get the full story which is a big plus, I get jobs all the time not all the info no driver details ect job is ie loss of power on way to job thinking fuel fault blocked filter, turbo fault intercooler pipe adrift , exaust brake stuck on. Get on scene to find out loss of electrical power.
Exactly would you rather pay for a technician to fit a new part in an hour than to “repair” the same fault in a longer time and still have to pay for parts to ensure the repair will last aswell as more for the technicians time on the job?? Fitting the new part also reduces down time of the vehicle which makes the dealer look better and a better chance of the customer returing should they have other faults with the vehicle.
