The G80 broke! not sure exactly where.
One side of the truck is covered in rubber, the other side is almost clean as a whistle.
it was 90 degrees out and a strong headwind
Heres how it went down.
I did an easy burnout, nothing crazy, it hopped 3 times, when I felt it hop the first time I let off the throttle, it did 2 more baby hops.
stage
go
tires went up in smoke with 3/4 throttle, let out, got back in it
heard some clanking and such, I automatically thought I messed up the tranny install.............well.......the tranny is a beast and still shifting hard as hell.

Rear End(i.e. G80) is a different story, makes a squeeking & shushing noise when turning but is ok in a straight line, drove 100miles home at 55mph.

still had a good time though

my truck is making some serious Tq, I need to get into the rear end to see if I burned it up or grenaded it..............looks like I'm back to two wheels for a while.

 

Glad you made it home gripps....what does the Wife think?

 

its all good bro!

that radix kit you sell for the LQ4 is quite a beastly setup

 

Sucks to hear that, what do you have planned? LSD or Locker? A Detroit would definitely solve your strength and traction issues, but if you want streetability, that might be a bit rough with a detroit and a radix, haha. Good luck and lets see some carnage pics

 

thanks bro, looks like caltracs and some type of locking rear diff!


Is the 14bolt 10.5" Full Floating G80 strong? I say hells no!

 

not that it means anything

the timeslip says

r/t .4
60' 2.6
1/8 11.2
mph 70
1/4 16.6
mph 92

 

Bah! Good excuse not to get a real time


Get that sucker fixed up bro. Avoid the wife's wrath and the ridicule of tech members. It's a fine line to walk.

 

My wifes Honda suv does a 16.5 1/4...

 

I'm very very very very very very very very very traction limited............................and can no longer turn corners

 

Let me know if you need a new stocker temporarily...
