Well i broke my second tranny this weekend.Sunday actually.My trans guy pulled it all apart today and found out i broke a couple things.One being the output shaft for the second time!!!!
This is something that normally never brakes but i ahve broken it two times now.He's not real sure as to why they keep getting torn up so he is having a specialist come by to check my suspension and such to make sure it's not causing this.
His helper test drove my truck after the first time it was fixxed and noticed i ahd vibration from 0-30 under full throttle.But didn't think much of it he said.So he never mentioned it to the builder.I think that is prob the cause but if any of you ahve any ideas feel free to help me out.Pics below.

 

WOW! I would keep that **** as a trophy. I FUBAR'd my stock open diff spider gears and they are supercool paperweights!

 

Yea this is the second time this has happened.Hopefully they can get it fixed up not to happen again.
Stupid not supposed to be able to be broken output shaft.

 

Good luck with all THAT.

What exactlly does flipping donuts do for you?





PS. You still need line-lock.

 

I don't do em until my tires are in need to be replaced.Once they do i have fun with em.
Line-Lock is not needed as if i plant my foot from a stand still first gear is literally gone.
If i am rolling they will grab.

 

Wasn't there a carnage thread? One to post your broken parts pics in?

 

I would have to blame that particular kind of abuse for your carnage.
Unless you have some rear suspension parts to keep your rear from binding or flexing side to side, your placing your suspension/ driveshaft/ tranny in a bind under those WOT blasts and those harsh donuts.
A possible reason for your vibration under hard acceleration from 0-30 is from an incorrect pinion angle. You may need to shim or reshim your rear axle.
Next time, I would be a bit kinder to your investment.

Nah the guy who built it practically tells me to go out and do whatever i want.
It's under his warrenty for parts and labor so if it breaks it doesn't cost me anything.
As for the vibration i'm sure that is whats wrong but he has a guy coming to check my suspension out and so on to make sure it's not putting stress on it....hell when i got the truck from him after he built it...his words were Go to the track and see what she will do.
I asked him and told him how i drive what i do with the truck and that when my tires run low on tread i get rowdy with em.
Hell when i brought it to him the first time my tires were slick as could be.
I don't get excessive until the thread wears down...but i do go to the track and that sheds some tread fairly fast.I usually end up needing two new tires about every 8months.Mainly from track visits.Then the onslaught to rid the tires of the last bit of tread......owell it's fun anyway.
