We ran open rear end 2.8 for a year. The open rear end didn't solve any breakage isuses. We had several slip yokes break on 271 the cases and .not sure of
How many 271s our group wentp through that year but it was a few. Back then I know our trucks didn't make the power 2.6 does now days. We were exploding tcases mid track and not just and the big end. Also when I tcase explodes it's a good chance you won't get the motor slowed down before it goes too. I'll see if I can find videos. I belive we lost 4 motors that year to driveline failures.
Just changing the rear DA will just move the problem to the weakest point TC. I agree its ODL or move 3.0 or start stripping to 2.5.
3.0 motors are good for about 25 (Duramax) Hooks before you need to freshen them up Weather it deck plate or Dry.
Here's another thought allow ODL 2.6 NO deck plate or dry blocks allowed, So if you want to sacrifice your engine to win that's up to you, In reality the entire power plant and DL must be changed in 2.6, Now 2.6 and 3.0 are so close how do you decide to separate the classes.
