I mean look at the 2.8 class it almost seemed as if over half of them either broke a rear-end or ate a u-joint. it was hooking hard and looked as if the 2.8 side had some big dips and humps in it. around the 290-3XX mark seemed to have the worst spot for it.....
 
The 2.8 trucks have reached a thresh hold on the power that the "OEM" driveline can handle, IMO. There are a lot of 2.8 pullers pushing for an open driveline rule.
 
yes there was. luckily we werent one of them for once.

I didnt know what would happen with the 35's on it for the final. we needed somthing to get past troy (that truck is truly wicked:rockwoot:) so it was gonna be go or blow.

also thanks to the mosleys for letting us borrow their tires for the finals it really helped get the truck hooked up.
 
I noticed a lot of the 2.8 trucks were having misfire issues.
What was that about?

Yeah we were on the 2.6 track and broke a U-joint and ended up 34th, so we were pretty happy with that, being that was first time down the track on pretty much a newly built truck. I guess stock drive shafts and u-joints don't work.

Anyway on that note, what is everybody doing with there rear drive shafts, the truck is a long box extended cab. I see a lot of one piece drvie shafts but what are all running for u-joints?

Thanks,

I broke a rear axel shaft in the final and the guy that pulls with me here local broke a rear shaft, front shaft, front hub and front locker on his final run.

I hit that stupid dip at the 300' in teh finals and almost hit the steering wheel. It totally killed my momnetum. After I ran almost all of them ran as high as they could right down the line.

If I get some more rpm it would help me out. I just run right up 4k goin down the track maxed out. All the other guys run 4500-5500 down the track wich greatly increases track speed. My gear is about 34mph and I would bet that the dmax guys are around 40mph.
 
On the 2.6 side I avadenty came with a broken front locker then blew the front driveshaft out approx half track. I did still manage to pull 272 ft in 2 wheel drive though.
