Have one in my tow rig. What a beast! Will tow my trailer at 130MPH! 92 MPH is the slowest I've seen up an interstate grade with loaded car trailer! You can almost play king of the road at high elevations! 3 MPG when racing with a turbocharged car coming back from Mammoth Mountain MX with bike trailer in tow! Had to let him go or I would have run out of gas coming back over Tioga pass. Was NP203 fulltime to put the power down wet or dry but I've broken more of these than I can count so I've seen changed to an NP205. The spyders always break on me in the fulltime cases--the last one broke while I was doing some testing and shifted into third at 90MPH (6000RPM) the gears must have gotten wedged just right cause the rear of the transfer case sheared in half and hit the concrete center divider and broke the driveshaft in half one side going out the right side of the truck putting a hole in the gas tank and denting the side of the truck and flew off into a lake! Happened at night--lots of sparks. Coasted over a mile to my buddies house--you can roll super far with no driveshafts! My front driveshaft was out cause I had blown the front end at Pismo--no front hubs cause I break those too! The only thing thats never broke is the 14 bolt rear! The 14
bolt flange had to be replaced when the driveshaft pulled the bolts out of it and bent it a little! Longeet its ever run without something breaking is 12,000 miles. Never lost a race against another truck! Floored it once to make a yellow light and the car next to me got scared but the noise and ran up on the center concrete median in the rain and spun out of control narrowly missing a cyclist whom also turned to see what was going on and
also almost got in a headon with an oncoming car and also almost hit the rear of the same car (which was now stopped) when the car spun back the other way! With the hood up the blower whine at 6000RPM will make your ears ring! Fun rig--to bad its thrown another rod again!
