Afternoon, DTR... Got some pics for you...

Stock output shaft out of my tranny...



BROKEN!!!





This happened in the end of July, I had just got my new turbo, and look what happened... 5-6 lbs of boost, 4wd launch...

Nice, clean, break!

Hang that up on the wall of shame.

madhat

I have it in my 'stock parts' collection... I think I'm going to mount it on my stock flexplate...

megacabdad

...stock parts that are no longer useable for anything else but decorations on the wall

ya can't build power without ending up with a .....

" Wall of Shame "

the more you make, the larger the wall you'll need

I agree nice and clean, I don't think you could have cut it off any cleaner!!
Well done sir. But hold off on changing the flex plate until it turns into a donut.

madhat

I've already changed the flex plate... it still looked good.

That's the first thing that I've broke, I think... I've always tried to build the truck around the power...


See the quote at the bottom of my sig? I put there after the shaft...

so whats the side affect of the out put shaft braking? if it brakes can it harm something else? and what did your truck do when it broke did it not drive at all just reved up? im asking because im making alot of power but i skipped out on the output shaft but im gonna start drag racing soon so want to know if i should put a billet in it first or wait for it to brake first then put a billet into it.

madhat

It did not hurt anything but the output... that I know of.

It only revved, no nothin, 2 or 4wd. It would roll in park, too.

It is the same price if it breaks or if it's whole. Buy one, and keep it on hand if you're scared.

I think that mine broke because of the tires I have.

I can't believe your stock shaft hasn't broke yet!!!!! I would replace it asap180hp injectors+stock output= a bad day!!!!

tatkins85

why if it wont cause any damage other then braking i should just wait for it to brake dont you think?

hotdram

That one of those new 2 piece output shafts

I give you a few passes at the most before it snaps.

you could be on the line buildin boost the first time, and wham, you're done. with the mods you have I say have it done now, smarty on its own is almost enough to break it, you have way more than that.

if iam not mistaken most of the time when the input goes it takes the tq with it ? i just bought the suncoast 48-9-3D and valve body, havent installed it yet waiting for DD tranny pan , but my buddies tell me not to play too hard due to highly possible to break the input beings that will be my next weakest link
