Driveshaft #2 popped in half
At only 4 days old, the driveshaft gave
out. I took her to the track on friday and
no problem. But yesterday I went out for
a midnight snack aand this red chevy started
to pick on me so I we went for it. As soon
as I picked up 90mph, the abs light started
blinking, so I let off; followed by a loud
pop. The last time the driveshaft popped,
It didn't do much damage, but now my gas
tank has a hole in it, the tranny lost the
rear part, and the driveshaft that is twice
as thick is now in half. The only thing I could
think of was that maybe the tranny shaft
was damaged in the previous incident; that
caused the driveshaft to run unbalanced
giving me another headache. I was about
to do a cam install, I was just missing the
springs but now I have to deal with this
stuff first. This sucks big time!!!
