My bushings were fine, it was the result of a supercharged 6.0 doing an AWD reverse WOT launch because some idiot came out in the road and started throwing shit at me and I wanted to get back to him before he ran away like the ***** he was. Something had to break lol. I don’t think the system is designed for that much torque in reverse. Not sure what everybody else’s excuse is.:confused:

That had to be something to see and hear.

I agree with PNW. Mind doing it again but recording it this time? ;)

I found a good video on how to remove the axle tube without much work (hopefully it’s similar for NNBS as the video is for NBS)...

Ummm...no lol. I replaced my diff with a rebuilt one from Cardone for about $800 and then since one CV axle was blown up,and I’m at 160k, I replaced both those for another $550 so I’m not looking to do reverse launches anymore. And I’m pretty sure I have the trans issue figured out so hopefully I won’t break any more output shafts on forward launches because I’m tired of fixing it. :mad: But that dude about shit his pants, should have seen him run. Luckily I was able to drive a few blocks afterward, that would have been awkward.
