Sled pulling how far can you push the stock driveshaft?
1 piece aluminum.
Steel is fine for a street truck. Been running one from Greensburg Machine for many years on my CC/SB with zero issues....at less than half the cost of aluminum.
I don't know where this love for aluminum comes from...other than the people pushing a sale...
I was pretty clear about aluminum in a street truck..... And went further to explain my stance on the limitations of a steel shaft.^^^
I understand what you're saying and I agree with your math. However...the thread is about sledpulling. 5000 rpm / 1:1 / 2.72 = 1838 rpm. Zero issue. And it's conservative because most "street" Dmaxes won't turn 5000 ever.
So I think you should rephrase as "steel will work fine for sledpulling in low range, however, if you are also going to drag race it, be aware of these critical speeds."
