ouch !!!!! but you have to have a weak link somewhere, and that's cheap to fix when compared to getting into the pumpkin or the tranny

pulled the drive shaft it its a 2 peice and ~105" long.

the front and rear shaft were 90* off on alignment

.... and most like then reaon it split at the yoke..

D&C it got some heat shielding most likely happend when i was being towed of the track.
and then tires werent spinging either.. so when it brok the drive shaft stop.

the straps on the yoke made quite the racket though....

scott i am pulling the cover on the diff to check it anyways

bowerstock and strayley help my brother and i drag it up on the trailer. thanks guys
