yeah its a never ending cycle for me. started with stock twins a few years ago. pushed an injector cup and bent 4 rods in 6 months single cp3. put rods in it and dual fuelers... broke input shaft and ripped a c2 hub and burnt up to sets of clutches due to them being way out of spec on tolerance. chased a converter clutch stuck on code for a long time and threw multiple parts at it(including a new converter) . ended up being tuning related. broke an axle and g80 first sled pull. blew a headgasket with studs. then i melted a piston and ruined the first motor. threw the book at it this go around with the engine build and then broke a driveshaft at second sledpull. get that fixed and now a f'n 3 thousand dollar turbo locked up!!! this is all within a 2 year span. i know there is a lot more i just dont even want to think about it.

aluminum drive shaft?


Sorry to hear of your bad luck. :( Your patience is bound to be worn thin at this point.

yeah aluminum. prezteled it right in the middle in my third tune. pull it clean out of the tranfercase. i think it twisted about 4 times

Mark me down as member #2 of the GT55R bent exhaust shaft.... Still spins and didn't make any noise, but wouldn't build boost on the pulling truck...
