Just seen on myth busters were they were trying this myth with a steel pad lock. Not frozen it took like 15 hits with a hammer to break the pad lock, frozen with liquid nitrgen they hit it 1 time with the same hammer and broke it! :badidea: Also if you look at Richmond gears, the racing gears they make are called pro gears...they have a higher nickle content in then that makes them a bit softer.

I believe the big difference is the gears in the truck aren't still frozen. I am guessing the padlock was still frozen.

Cyro makes metal harder...some things tooo hard, like gears and axles...things that see a shock load. It will make them brittle and break like an ice cycle! I worked in the r&d department for a major lawn mower company and we tryed the cyro on the deck blades and found that they were harder, but when you hit a rock or somthing in the yard, they would break off a chunk of the blade and send it out the shoot (NOT GOOD!!!) were as the ones not cyroed just put a dent in the blade!

I wasn't saying that cryoing gears was good or bad, just the example of a frozen padlock versus a room temp padlock wasn't a good example.
 
I would like to see them do that myth again with an actual cryo treated pad lock instead of a Frozen one. I bet the results would be totally different.

I had a tractor puller tell me that before cyro'ing his crank, it would snap one about once a season. After cryo'ing the crank, it would just start to bend and he could feel the vibrations. This allowed him to rebuild and save other parts that normally were ruined when the crank completely let go.
 
axle

What I'm wondering is why you guys are not running the AAM axles, Im sure I dont have as much power as you guys but all year all I broke was a transmission and one axle shaft. CR drive train seems very good. Just wish I could run 4Hi and not blow the tranny to pieces

Looks nice.

But is it really needed? I know you where breaking yokes but where they 1480 yokes? I have had 1480 stuff on my truck from the start. Most trucks are 1410. I have broken axle shafts, ring and pinion gears. I have never hurt the 1480 yoke. I do not run a aluminium drive shaft either. I am thinking that the aluminuim driveshafts are causing a lot of the 1410 yokes to break.$.02

Allmost all the yokes have failed with dual wheel set ups, I dont know of anyone that had a single rear wheel break a yoke yet! The yokes break at the bolt hole, and just a little piece breaks off. Its the aluminum drive shaft that saves the ring and pinion IMO.
 
I ran 1480's in my truck with my GM AAM with steel shafts and I had zero issues with it at all. Maybe I was lucky. I had probably more torque from my 12valve and twins than most probably do but I did have more wheel speed and usually had enough power to spin out which makes a big difference.
