Snapped My Drive Shaft

[Mixedbreed]

How does a 5.4L snap a drive shaft?

Something about a supercharger/ built up and heavy truck/ full locker rear and Leo's driving style.

Yeah the way he would launch that beast at every green light when we had the meet I'm surprised it didnt break in HP.

Lil update on my #2 drive shaft; shop just called and said that Tom Woods Custom Drive Shaft http://www.4xshaft.com/index.html confirmed that it was definitely a defective U joint and that they are making everything possible to fabricate a new one and overnight it as soon as it becomes available. Hmmmm........

Marks on the drive shaft are from it spinning all over the place. I didn't have the loop at the time cause it wasn't available and I wanted my tuck right away, thought I could just come back and had them install loop at a later date. But the complete job will now include the hoop which is very essential cause if the shaft gives way at front part at a hight rate of speed it can flip the truck.

I got my truck back, I got my truck back, na na na na na.

Good deal, Leo!

I assume you've beat on it already and it's holding up this time?
