Great video! I'm sure lots of folks see "axle wrap" all over the net without knowing exactly what it is. Thanks for that!

Lots of folks think that people are just saying it wrong. They hear wrap and think warp. Good video Brian.

Axle wrap will cause WHEEL HOP and break all kinds of "STUFF"... including ring gears and pinions.

I have bought all the materials to buid mine but just haven`t gotten around to building it, there no longer is a decent welding rig in our shop at work anymore (plus no time to do it) so i have to find access to one. I need it to keep my truck straight under accel, and reduce wheel hop (which doesn`t always happen)

Just take that Whipple off and ship it to me. That'll fix your traction problem.
