Watch the video and tell me what broke...

[joefarmer]

Like the title says, watch the video from today and guess what went wrong with the black truck and the GMC... $5 in funny money to who ever gets it right.

The part that sucks the most is that we sat in the staging lanes for ~3 hours waiting to make a single pass. Never, ever go to National Trail Raceway in Ohio.

one of the shafts give out in the trans?

[Noreaster]

this is just a shot in the dark, 1st truck broke the flexplate & the 2nd threw a code that put it in safe mode.

[imelmo]

That first on elooks like what happened to my truck a couple of weeks ago with the new motor in it. Heard a pop just after launching and it was like being in neutral. Wasn't the input shaft though.

[wideopen]

I have to go with one of the shafts...Input , Intermediate, or output.(Dodge)

And Limp Mode on the GMC

[nummit]

I don't know what it was, but that must have scared the chit out of you

[Burner]

That happened to me many years ago in a gasser.... rear chunk just let go. However, if the track was covered.....it's gott'a be a trans problem, Input shaft.

Code on the chevy but it could have lost a regulator or something.

[12vchevydually]

Input!

[LAmiller]

I think I witnessed a BILLET input go pop!

Lavon

[joefarmer]

It's not the transfer case or output shaft on the Dodge, we're still tearing it down. The Chevy slipped in 3rd, 4th and 5th WITHOUT limping. I'm pretty sure it's close to dead.

[AsTroSS]

Dodge ---> converter

[joefarmer]

Pan pics from the Dodge.

[wideopen]

Am I seeing tiny particals of Metal??

[joefarmer]

Clutch dust and brass flake. There's also 5-6 silvery metal flakes.

I must say, DTT customer service (through Tim Barber) is second-to-none! I got phone calls starting at 7am today and have received 5 calls since then. :thankyou2:

brandon.

[12vchevydually]

Awsome, Glad too see you are being taken care of!!!!!!

[AsTroSS]

Any news ?:poke:

[Signature600]

So much for taking me for a ride with the giggle gas....take lot's of pictures:D:D

Chris

[joefarmer]

Should have an update thursday after it's torn down at Tim's.

[Billysgoat]

Not sure what happened, but it looks costly :bang

[joefarmer]

$5 in funny money to Jeff and Phil. The non-billet intermediate shaft sheared off. Now I get to buy a billet intermediate, YAY!! DTT & Tim Barber will provide $ for everything else that got destroyed. THAT'S good service!

brandon.

[AsTroSS]

What else destroyed?
Wich company intermediate you will buy? (DTT do not make billet intermediate shaft anymore)

How much power your engine make?

[Signature600]

On the power, no dyno...yet! But his best pass with his old injectors was 11.80. Brandon can give you the rest of the info;)

That trucks got nuts:D
Chris

[joefarmer]

I don't have the full parts list in front of me yet. It got pretty much everything between the input and the overdrive section since it slung the broken shaft around in there.

[Burner]

Has someone seen a hardened intermediate shaft break? I have not.

[AsTroSS]

Any news?

[joefarmer]

Waiting on a shaft... should have it back by Christmas.

brandon.

[joefarmer]

Tada!!!!

[Signature600]

Do you have it back together yet Brandon??

I wanna hear it start in this weather:p :p

Hardened = billet?

Toolman twisted one... :snoop:

[joefarmer]

Chris
It sounds like a 2-stroke green tractor in this weather. Killed the Optima even before it cranked. :doh:

brandon.

[Dazed&Confused]

What else did it tear up in there? What boost were you launching at?

Andy

[joefarmer]

18-20 psi. It tore up everything that was attached to the engine side of the shaft since it spun inside with no support.

bnraodn.

[Dazed&Confused]

Wow, hope you get it back together soon.

[THATpreston]

Has someone seen a hardened intermediate shaft break? I have not.

No...but I've seen a Lenco yoke twisted. More than once. :owned:

[joefarmer]

No...but I've seen a Lenco yoke twisted. More than once. :owned:
Aren't those just 1350 yokes?
