Drive Train Upgrades

What are things that go snap? In pulling or drag? What should be upgraded and left alone? What is going to or has potential to break?

Gracias:gethim:

Everything can break. Period. Axle shafts, differentials, ring/pinion, yokes, u-joints, driveshafts, output shaft, input shaft, transfer case (internal and housing), transmission internals, etc. As you repair something with a better stronger part, it just moves to the next weakest link.

You can start with the "Negative 100cc Mod"... replace the 6.0L with a 5.9L

Short of going with CTMs ($$$$), the solid Spicer 1410s are pretty damn stout.

As far as breakage, I twisted off the pinion on my rear end a few weeks back with moderate throttle on pavement.:shrug:

I think Im at the wear and tear breaking point of my stuff. I doubt I can last another season at the track. I know its not alot of HP but i abuse it enough I know the time is coming. What are CTM's?
