an axle?if so how much power were u pushing when you broke it?i plan on breaking mine
Broke one in my truck with a tuned 4.8 doing donuts in the yard.... they can be fragile in the right situation.
ive heard 600 rwhp is about thier limit.
Damm
Yukon makes some that are supposed to be 25% stronger and they are reasonably priced from ron's. If the stockers are good to 600 the yukon's should be good for 750 if its a linear strength variable, but I am not sure.
A friend of mine broke his on his nnbs silverado 5.3 4 dr with only tune at the track. He didn't even do a burnout, as soon as he stepped on it, it went.
Sounds more like a factory issue like something didn't get put together right. Crazy stuff though sucks to be him.Quote:

i have only broke 1
Just did a search and it seems like nobody makes beefy aftermarket axles for the 8.6''. Is this true or am I not looking good enough? The only ones I can find are on page 19 under gm 8.6'' 10 bolt on ron's website. Other than that I couldnt find any
