I did this on NY Day. I searched some, but not knowing exactly what keywords to type other than the obvious.

I saw incontrol posted a pic

Marlin told me he knows of 2 others besides mine.

Pretty impressive! I've read of I think one other on this bbs that had broken one too, Maybe DRM! Not a bad record though with hundreds sold and being pounded on and only handful possibly being broken.

I prefer to shear the input shaft instead, never seen that before. Did it sound cool?

 

[cruzila]

There was a rather loud BANG

 

[freds40]

Is that the older set or the newer? I think newer is maybe as much as a year old. Marlin told me that the newer set was going to be stronger and that they are actually cut from the guy that cuts them for Toyota.

Call Marlin, he may replace them for you.

It was # 427 which makes it very old. I got it from him used. The input was stripped and I modified the input for the first Toybox.

 

[RE:Todd]

Camo broke one, not surprising.

Roger Brown had a problem with one also.

 

[BJ On Roids]

that is an awesome record for gearsets

and considering, it is apparently setup or neglect which caused failure

much like the longfields, in which the steering stops not being adjusted causes failure

Two snapped mainshafts, and I haven't hurt my gearset yet. Sure hope I don't hurt it ever, it's 4.7 #1100 (I think--from memory) so I dunno if that's new, old, or what.

 

[Pat]

are you running a V-8 with a toybox in front of the regular case with 4.7's??? and is you cruza heavy?

 

[cruzila]

327, SM420, 4.7 Toybox, 3-speed t-case. Aren't all cruisers heavy?

The picture that incontrol posted was Camo's gear that he broke on Wrecking Ball. His old rig was heavy, 4600 pounds if I remember right. He also caved in the top of 2 differential housings because of the same reason WEIGHT.
