The turd that rolled out my pant leg after that would have held the gas pedal down to the floor!!
Glad you OK!

Sorry to hear about the bad luck.

If you don’t mind me asking? What does your truck run at the track?

My truck is a 1988 & knock on wood, I’ve never had a drive shaft or joint issue. I run a stock shaft & HD joints & constantly check them. I have a 2 piece shaft & 2 loops (just in case).

I hope you find a permanent fix soon.

mine went when i hit the govenor (95-100mph) on my 05 crew. back end hopped about a foot off the ground. luckily i was a quarter mile infront of any other traffic. i only had the truck 6 months from the time i bought it brand new. it was still under warranty but the dealership kept it for 3 weeks to search for something that i might have done to cause it. their excuse was "that just doesnt happen". even now when i hit 92 mph i can still feel that shake and vibration that i felt when it went the first time.
