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:

It's worth it to get some aftermarket ones to be safe. I had the moser axles in my 10 bolt. They worked well, or the Yukon ones would work too I'm sure.
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
where can i find out how long the oem factory axle is on my 08 rcsb 2wd?
I've got one out of an 03 right beside me should be the same.

Nope, disk. Sorry didn't realize they changed them
chevrolade if you ever get sick of looking at that truck you just pm me i will have to own it it is my favorite on here.
axles are usually broken on launch, going forward, i chose to go Yukons, theyve seen over 600 and some hard launches, so did the stocks, i changed them for the simple fact i had a small seal leak ( wear ) on one side. will they hold on the new setup i doubt it, but i wont change them until one breaks ;)
Zach i doubt you'll have a problem just dont see your setup launching harder than a nitrous setup. unless youre spraying out the hole and cutting some serious 60 ft times.
The 99-06 axles are not the same as the 08+ just FYI.
are the 08+ weaker? reason i ask im fixing to drop a 6.2 and probably run a tvs or procharger for the torque, going after high torque numbers this go round on my 09 truck
Not sure, the red truck allen has broke one just making a pass....
Thanks, learned something new. That's what I joined this site for.Quote:
