Jeff, I think the only reason I haven't broken a halfshaft is because I don't ever leave the line like a raving lunatic (aka Wolfie). I ease into it then push it to the floor.

Maybe I should give Wolfie those driving lessons for Christmas? Hmmmm, that would bring the family stock back up a little.

I broke my inner splines on driver side within the differential on my Superformance Ford 8.8 rear end. All it took to eliminate the part was drag radials and one 3000 rpm start. All of my other starts before and after the incident have been near idle rpm. The half shaft chunks that were left over looked to be heat treated cast metal with mini hallow spots in the structure here and there in the middle.

I bought a new set of half shafts from DRIVESHAFTS SHOP: Stock, Performance Drive Shafts, Aluminum Drive Shaft, Racing Axles that are said to be stronger. Of course the little broken bits and chunks filled the differential and rear end too. I put in a Detroit Trutrac rear end to replace the other.
