Default Another one piece driveshaft on a CC-NNBS goes Boom

I'm sitting roadside with a exploded driveshaft and busted tail housing. It happened above your average speed tailhousing had a piece broke off right at the end, will I be able to just replace the tail housing or is there a good chance it screwed up the tranny? I'll post pics this evening after I get it back to my shop

Your nbs truck is steel 2 pc though and our nnbs trucks have one pc shitty aluminum .. .. some with aluminum dont have issues while others like myself blew them up lol

Edit ... i just saw in ur sig that u dont have the 05 now and have NNBS .. oops
But if it was the 05 u had the power in then it was the steel shaft that you had... the Denali prolly one pc aluminum ...

In an NNBS yes ... you can get it high speed balanced though and may help it when taking top speed limiter off(if u not turning the limiter off then ur fine) or if $$$ is there then buy a custom one from DS Specialties and no worries
