Default xrunner kill

So crusin home from work today on 35, an xrunner passes me, lowered black on black, so i pull up next to him and sure enough he down shifts and punches it from about a 65 roll. he gets the jump since i figure we were going to honk. i proceed to WOT, catch by 75-80 and put about a truck on him till i hit 95 and my driveshaft starts vibing.

nice kill. i had one on my @$$ this morning on the way to work. I wanted to play once we hit the interstate but traffic sucked...even at 5:00 in the morning. Do you have a extra cab or a crew cab?

i dont like going faster than 90 with the 3.73s. I felt vibration once at 100 and don't want to get close to that again.

you know i have heard that before but i dont want to find out, because i have seen one broken alum. driveshaft in half and the walls are soo thin, and i have heard of wayyyy to many broken driveshafts on here.

i have the stock 373's as well and when i first dropped my truck i couldnt go past 90 and it would vibrate bad. it was then a 2/5, since then i raised it up an inch in the back to the 2/4 and i can usually hit 100 now.
