Malibu's 2wd Sled pulling progress
- Thread starter malibu795
- Start date
I'm 90% sure the no first gear lockup is not possible due to hydraulics of the trans not just electrical trickery so I don't think braydens controller can do the first gear lockup deal-e-o. There's a thread on here about this in the trans talk section.
If he's gonna to through trouble of hangin an xcase, he might as well hang a front axle also and use that second output for something.
It's too bad it's not able to be dedicated to pulling and not need roadability. Be good to see it with gearing to hit 2nd and lockup. But with 35s that's gonna need to be a loooow gear out back to do that and keep and keep a sizable turbo lit.

i know what your saying mitch... have thought of putting a divorce NP205 in there...with 4:1 gears in the box...
Yea...you're right..3200 is were mine shifts also...
This isn't saying much...but if was me I'd put it in second just to see what happens.
Can't be any worse than my 25'...boosted burn-out at Famoso last year
I tried 3rd once... ran out of fuel pressure...buck..buck..buck...
In second also but not as bad and I can feather the peddle back.

broke my 2nd item in it life of competion
destroyed then tail shaft yoke and u-joint and dented up the front part of then two piece drive shaft. no visible damage to then transmission tail shaft housing.
went 228.37 on a VERY sticky track with STS's.
video... dont know....
will post pictures later

whats your reasoning behind a 1 piece?
im almost ~90" long drive shaft.... anything slight bend or even natural twist will through something that long out of wack and out it comes(say 100mph trap speed? than ~2000rpm and ALOT of spinging weight to keep balance)... not a good idea
Nice demo job Brother . Sucks , but sign of the power
You know your laying it down when your breaking chit like that .
I just replaced my short driveshaft on mine . Had serious vibration .
Twisted the tube on mine from transfer case to trans .
1/4 inch out of alignment on the u joints lining up end to end after AV Lancaster pulls
Had tube cut out and double tubed and rebalanced . All better and vibration gone .
Wheres the vid of it snapping like that .... should be a good vid if somebody got it for you .

Good thing they didn't load the sled up huh Johnny?:rofl: That would have been a failure in front of hundreds of people otherwise!!
havent heard a a video floating a round yet...
idea rightnow is upgradeing then yoke to either a 1480 or 1510 and thick wall then front peice. then re-balance everything
edit pulled the drive shaft qick measuer ment is 105" long...
when it was install then then rear driveshaft was instaled 90* out off the front shaft u-joint

Yes, it would be a long shaft and the alignment/balance would have to be dead on.
But less stuff to break.

If installed with u joint not in alignment at slip end to end all hell will break loose .
Did you have any vibrations before this failure occured
