My MA my mama says it's because they gots all them teeth and no toothbrush.
Why do you think your ring and pinion breaks?
I agree with you that none of that helps but, the quality of the gears has gone to ****. Anyone have any experience with performance pro aam gear they claim to be getting more hooks out of themSo no one thinks all the hopping , sled, and or the ****ty track prep has anything to do with it? I say this because going thru youtube the other night, i couldnt believe the **** tracks+ a sled that thinks its necessary to slam a 2.6 truck like a 4 engine mod= breakage

Completely agree with this. Some sled operators just cannot get it together. Several pulled this year I have seen 3-4 test trucks to get the sled right. Now it's probably not all operator. Some is the completely chit tracks now days.The sled can have a DRAMATIC impact on breakage. Not knocking on our bunch but we had been running a setting with 5-6 weights were we would get to flying and pan and box hit at same time and stopped us from mid 20s to dead stop in like 10-15ft. Trucks were getting bad about hopping and spitting out driveshafts (odl trucks). It would hit so hard that it would throw you forward against seat belts. We did some playing, lightened up box and made pan drop quite a bit earlier so now you still get a fast run but it's a easy drag 50-60 ft at the end. You can't even feel the sled now, you just noticed yours losing some speed till you spin out.

Allowing dual rear wheels

I know of one sled owner/operator actively working towards eliminating the hit at the end of the track, where it brings on a gradual, firm stop, and doesn't throw you forward in the truck. He claimed he had been watching other operators and the main factor in vehicle breakage was that when the box tops, it causes a slight amount of slack in the chain, then suddenly loads the truck extra hard, causing sudden flex and a hop. That's where most of the break happens, if it ever hops or chatters. Proformance pros is supposed to be working on a billet ring gear for the D80. Burkhard has one for the AAM already available

Why is it the ones talking about doing away with the duals don't have duals?
