Ok it all sounds bad but I dont have the foggiest clue what you were talking about there! LOL!

lol. The limited slip unit in the rear end busted. I'm going to replace it with a stronger aftermarket unit, more likely an Eaton unit, and also replace the stock 3.73 gears with either 4.30 or 4.56. Here are a couple pics of the pieces I pulled from it lastnight:

I should have never sent that txt msg the other day....."Hey Jeff, you know next on your list is a rear end the way you drive that thing"

Sorry bro, my bad lol

Yea, your bad, man. You jinxed me, lol.
It was bound to happen. That stock unit wasn't going to hold much longer with that power under all this weight. I'll probably build a 9" later for it. AFR heads, larger cam, and probably meth is on the list.

I had to show my wife after I pulled the cover. She kept telling me I was crazy because I had a smile on my face when I was showing her and explaining what happened. Guess they'll never understand...Just something about being able to cause that kind of carnage...it sucks that it happened, but feels good knowing you have the power to make it happen AND have an excuse to give the wife when dropping some dough to build it stronger.
