Too much Carnage Guisada

[farmtruc]

Just can't seem to quit breaking things.

Night before the race, after spending months getting the ol farmtruc running, the trans went. There was a lot of guessing, but it came down to this, the input shaft breaking. It was a nice clean break btw.
This was supposed to be a magic 300M billet of some sort, oh well, time for a better one. Good news is, both parts came out easy and we don't think there is any internal damage, still need to check.




Just a few weeks ago, this happens. Blew the rearend up in the Dragalanche, again, third time, oh well.
It always happens when there's good traction, no slip, and trying to move 6000lbs hahah.

Pretty good carnage:



Thanks to Ron Machine for the fast delivery a few weeks ago and the great price. btw, this was the second Yukon unit to die. It was replaced with a Detriot TrueTrac, hope it holds.


Final Carnage.
Just this week, or last, whatever, the Level 5 trans in the Dragalanche finally went out. Short life of 2 years, oh well. Sprag, internal support thing in the middle went out. Grind'd itself up. btw Lambo!!! Mine was making the same noise as yours, hahahah, so that's something to check. It would whine, however, drove fine and shifted fine. Just a matter of time before it comes apart. Just a suggestion that's all, I know you were curious about yours doing the same thing.
Anyway, got a stock 80e, thanks George!, running great. Gotta install a shiftkit next week to keep it alive until I rebuild the other 80e.


Power is fun, but it really sux when all this stuff breaks in a row.

[CHEVROLADE]

damm what brand unit is that that broke in the dragalanche?yukon?

u got too much power,spare me some lol
good luck getin it all together quick,and hope u dont have any more carnage guisada lmao

[skeet]

dang, man that sux, maybe the true trac will work better for ya? knock on wood i hadnt broke anything but i have a really bad feeling something is gonna let go, during the rgv vs houston shoot out i heard unusual noises coming from the drivetrain but managed to still run the hell out of her in hopes to find out what was gonna break lol but nothing did

[George C]

that carrier is pretty freaking impressive. looked like a gernade went off. I question that billet shaft of yours, i wonder if a stock cryo hardend one would of held better

do you have some sort of record for breaking parts?

[TurboMic]

get it fiixed so we can go play with some bikes and high end wannabes...

[farmtruc]

I wish I didn't have any record for breaking stuff, I don't have time for this crap lol.
The bigger slicks and more boost didn't help at all concerning the shaft, I need to save for a real PG, damn they are around $4500.
Ya, that's a Yukon posi, second one like that, not exact breakage on the first one, just the center broke.

I'm trying, I wanna go pick on some bikes, just need to get some z rated street tires on it.

[TurboMic]

not a bad idea.... I need some street tires that hook under 100mph...lol.. do your et streets feel ok in the turns?

[WARLOCK]

HOwd you break a level 5 80e?

[TurboMic]

the Avy is putting down in excess of 1000 rwhp.... must be right.... thats what FLT claims it will hold....LMAO

[DBRODS]

FLT....FTW!!!!!

Dang allen, quit beating on stuff so hard...
