Just wondering who has broken there drive shaft I am replaceing my 4l60 with an 80 and have to shorten my D/S is the stock one strong enough or should I up grade. My goals with this truck is to get it to run 11.5 then slow it down to run consistant 11.7s

 

Mine wasn't a high speed break, I broke mine rolling down an on ramp at 20MPH, saw an opening and floor it.







Proof that the volkswagon's commercial have some clout, a circle is stronger. Look how thin that metal is. Well, of course not so much stronger on my set up apparently.

 

I knew manshu would be the first to chime in. So was it bent then that happened or what it seem it happened a strange time

 

no clue, 4L60 was in the drivetrain at that time. If the ujoint broke under the CRAZY LEVEL of HP I was pushing, it then would fly off hit the road and snap i guess. Weird yes, after that, it was all downhill, problems after problems.

 

Mine wrung the yoke head off and my u joint went flying somewhere and then I head a loud thud followed by scrapping sound. I said "****..there went the driveshaft".....and my situation was kinda like Dewy's. I was driving to Abingdon on the interstate and pulled out to pass a 18 Wheeler and then.....boom!

But I shortly afterwrad called a friend of mine and he made me a new driveline......and haven't had any problems since! I'm pretty sure Dewy knows the guy I'm talking about...lol

 

He does driveshafts?!?!!?!? I'll Breeze know about him as well, but I thought he was only gears.

 

LOL...Custom drive shafts, OEM drive shafts....I think he may even do Carbon Fiber drive shafts. Ronnie's good.

Dang...I can't believe I didn't tell you he did driveshafts..

 

Oh yeah...BTW...I took care of Holty! Got him fixed up!

 

I dont know who youre talking about I think ill just have my stocker shortend and get a D/S loop.

 

cheap insurance, i think mine is the next to go but i am drained at the moment so no flooring it for me
