Dude that sucks, I always hate breaking crap. But it does feel kind of good when something blows and you know it is caused by the HP. Gotta love. But sorry to hear that bro. Maybe you should have got a turbo.

btw, with 80 people max, the track was wide open and it seemed very well run.
I was parked next to a couple of old timers, they were pretty cool for 2 min I was there

hmm must be a problem with the 10.5 rear ends, Duramax guys' run a eaton e-locker up front and stock G80 out back on the 11.5 rear ends truck pulling, seem and never heard of any problems on the 11.5.

So They make aftermarket locker for the AAM 10.5 now ???

For reference:
There two GM 10.5 full floaters,

Old Corp 10.5" 14 bolt, which use three bearing support on pinion gear. Third bearing support is on the end, cradleing the pinoin gear.

New AAM 10.5 14 bolt, which is made by American Axle and Manufacturing, uses the regular and more common style pinion bearing support where the pinion over hangs the bearing.
