How much abuse will a 241 dld take? - Competition Diesel.Com

rick stark · 09-17-2012, 11:05 PM

Well like the title says...dld in my 97 project truck and was wondering how much abuse it will take. DD that is going to be pulled 2-3 times a year at most. ~650-750 horse when done. Is it worth it to swap to the dhd?

I ran a dld in my 95 drag truck and never had a issue. Launched hard and ran 10s.

I run one with 500+ hp with no problems and I do sled pull. I blew the pinion gear in the Dana 70 before hurting the transfer case. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1347950534.832237.jpg

I snapped my output on a dld during a sled pull at 300ho

blos101 · 09-18-2012, 05:34 AM

mine lasted about 3 pulls with about 550 hp

That is all very interesting. It will take a little bit of beating before she gives I see. And when it does I'll just swap in a dhd. Those are some impressive numbers for it all things considered.

I still have a DLD in my truck. Calculates to high 600s based on times and weight(6700lbs). Havent had a problem so far.

Drothgeb · 09-20-2012, 06:20 AM

Mine has seen a few dozen 15-?? psi boosted lauches @ just over 700hp.

47re.

devon lock · 09-20-2012, 09:24 AM

Never had a problem with mine 4 years now from 750hp to a 1000hp now

rick stark · 09-20-2012, 05:14 PM

Are these rebuilt or still stockers?

I rebuilt mine when I built truck but all stock parts. I pulled it apart last winter everything looked good as new and I just re assembled it!

Red_Rattler · 09-20-2012, 08:22 PM

This much.... First hook it said FU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jGBUUyfopg&list=UUa4R83oc1cOIdPpZpwO44nQ&index=1&feature=plcp

Now it has a one piece driveshaft with 1480's and a DHD

Pullin' Out · 09-20-2012, 09:39 PM

My old man broke his ath first time he hooked it to the sled. It was at a brush pull. The truck is bone stock, no intake, no box, nothing. It never even took a hop. I broke mine my 3rd hook at 500 hp. I would say just change it now. At least that way you will have a spare or something to sel for a couple hundred bucks. Otherwise you will eventually scrap metal sometime down the road.

rick stark · 09-20-2012, 10:08 PM

Hmmm. It's an easy drop and swap correct other than the slip yoke?

nasty 2005 · 09-20-2012, 11:29 PM

I pull mine every weekend at 550+ and its been just fine now for over two years. In the off season I abuse it pulling wagons and plowing snow. It has just over 340,000 and is still factory fresh!

I have snapped the output shaft on that though.

r-rated diesel · 10-09-2012, 06:05 PM

I would think it would be fine

Mr. Rollin Coal · 10-19-2012, 12:42 AM

Well I spoke to soon because I broke the main shaft on the DLD during my last hook. Time for a Dhd.
