prob broke cause of the long ass axels on the d and with the b being equal lenth it can take more with out breaking..

throw in a pep boyz warranty axle in there for $50 and you're golden!

I've a friend who's been running 7.5-7.7 in the 1/8th off OBX diff and stock axles for 3-4 years now.

Learn to preload, D-series axles aren't quite as beefy as B-series. Also, is this a different chassis? You might have a suspension/wheelhop problem.

well the thing about preloading is um, i wasnt racing, i just got on it in secound gear andit went pop.....
Its the same chasi, have traction bars, and i fiilled all the mounts with window weld, and kept both the little suportive mounts. there is less wheel hop in this than i had with my race mounts on the LS..



hmm, i got the 80$ life time from salvos, might need to go look at pepboys, before i put it in later....

Some of the ching chong meow remans have overly hardened shafts and such, will fail in stock 80 whp applications.
