    Broke one in my truck with a tuned 4.8 doing donuts in the yard.... they can be fragile in the right situation.

    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.

    Ya, it's luck of the draw. Some will hold to 9.8 sec passes like the black truck Nelson built, others will break at stock power levels. I broke at least a dozen. But most were doing donuts. 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.

    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
