Either broke the input shaft or the transmission mainshaft at the big end of the track. No forward or reverse gears at all. It was still moving forward when she let go. I ended up with 2nd place and lost by 4 feet to the Midwest Diesel duramax. Most others were 40' behind us or farther.

Truck ran excellent:rockwoot:

My digital camcorder which has worked great for two years decided to malfunction right at the end of my pull:bang

Here's a vid of the midwest duramax that pulled 292 and my pull of 288 (the video doesn't show it to the end though).

I should find out what broke later today when I pull it apart.

I am guessing you won't be at Wahoo tonight then.

Good luck on the repairs.

It turned out to be the input shaft to the transfer case, here are some pics...

I should mention it is the input shaft and bearing to my 241DHD transfer case that broke.
