Went to a brush pull/fair pull Friday night... Results didn't turn out too well.
Looks like I'm finding most of the weak points, though :-laf

Click here to see Video

Dana 70 SRW unbroken axle shafts vs the broken. (I run a Dana 80 DRW axle)

Random chunks...

Is my detroit unusable?

Do you think I could clean up the edges of that detroit and put a new bearing on it or is it totally shot?

At this rate I'll never make it to Scheids.. at least in the truck!

Contact Haisley machine, they have the solution for your axle woes. DONT USE MOSER, we broke a truck load of those junks the stockers were better. If you are going to sled pull with good tires and over 550rwhp axles are a must have..............unless you like replacing them.

and quit hopping, and block that suspension. or just use the sled to build boost, not your brakes.

I was very Impressed with Scott's driveline after that effort. I thought that we surely would be catching parts...and er were on the other side of the drag strip. But his truck held up really well.

I picked up another Detroit locker and a set of Yukon axles.. supposed to be 30% stronger than stock.
Its all I can do right now.

Garrett,
Are you going to re-use that or getting some new ones again?

New ones will be here today.. Just in time for Scheids!

Scratch that.. They won't be here today.. mess up with UPS I guess.

I was told to put the axle in on the opposite side and go with it for now, by the people who sold & warranty the axles.

Track me down out there, I'll be pulling at 11 tomorrow and with DHRA saturday.
