Default big issues please help

well about a year or so ago I was headed back from the track and ran my buddy up to around 115-120 and my output shaft housing snapped in half, Im assuming from vibration, well I replaced it and have been stopping running around 110. well today I decided to push it, got to around 115 and speedo started bouncing, low traction light popped on then switched to traction off and my abs light came on, I let out and let it coast to around 60 then rode for a mile or two and the traction off went back off but abs stayed on. so pulled over and cut the truck off, waited a minute and crunk it back. abs light stayed on for around 20 seconds then went off. drove around for 20-30 minutes everything is fine. so I decide to try it again. EXACT same thing happens.



any ideas what my trouble could be? I dont think pinion angle would cause this since Ive had my angle at 0 the first time and +3 and -3 this time. ( or so I think, still not sure on the exact way to measure pinion angle, have watched many many videos and read up but still not sure on best pinion angle)

could it be from my driveshaft being unbalanced? or maybe my rear end??? I need to get this fixed

that usually comes on when the tranny is slipping. the computer thinks the tires are spinning, so its its shutting down. My old tahoe would do the same thing.

trans shouldnt be slipping it was just rebuild with all new internal parts around 7000 miles ago, holds every gear fine , like I said only happens when it gets to around 115 , never before.

I was running into this with my 4x4 adapter plate... I broke 4 of them before I finally got it fixed. My driveshaft was not balanced for the first 3 I broke, the last one was because 2 of the nuts fell off of the transfer case and allowed it to vibrate.

Good advice here. Glad to see you finally figured your truck out.

Man, I was almost to the point Bandit is. I was about to throw a match and walk away.

Thanks for all the help.
