Put me down for one. There's not much I've not broke in a NV4500 though. This is the only gear I pull in and have since '07. Pulled another gear before then. What's the rest of your truck setup/info?

I've been pulling 2nd Hi for years, never broke 2nd. I've broken 3rd 4 times now, 5th gear clutch 3 times. 2nd is a tough gear. Just don't hit all 4 stages at once, do 3-4 shots instead.

You ever hold a 2nd gear in your hand? That is one strong gear.

With 5.13s I wouldn't think you'd want to go any lower than 4th low, lose too much wheel speed.

I think your problem lies elsewhere bud. You know what I told you. 2nd gear isn't the answer for you. Although, it is very tough!

No Brandon has knowledge of what you are dealing with and can probably help you figure out your best course of action.
