I was told that CTM's need to be greesed every 5 miles or they will wear out.

5 miles, thats gotta be a joke haha. screw CTMs. so just differentials is Nitro?
just looked and damn! $727 for shafts! they had better be lifetime warranted! damn, i cant justify spending that much, i mean for that price your getting close to just swapping in a dana 44

Nitro Gear and Axle is a company of Just Diffs, yeah. Sorta like Randy's and Yukon, or Precision Gear and Alloy USA.

Um, yeah, you gotta pay to play. Thats inners and outers for both sides, including Super Joints (which is 40% of the price)

swap in a d44... you still have to buy the shafts!
I've got at least $1000 in front axle shafts...
Superior stubs at $175 each
Warn inners at $225 each
CTM's at $200 each
Spare Yukons (full set, with 760's) $600
pay to play my friend...

In all fairness, there were conditions that lead to that failure.
1) Those were small joints
2) Kevin was driving
3) well, #2 says it all.
I'd say 4 you were spotting him, but I wasn't there, just saw the aftermath.
Oh, I've still got a set of superior stub shafts for the ford D44 sitting on my shelf.

how does a broken u-joint lead to a broken ball joint? i mean it could, but not neccesarily - would it?

Looks like this CTM destroyed the ball joint anyway?

when the ear on the shaft went, the inner shaft keeps spinning if you're in the gas. the outer one is no longer fully connected to the inner shaft so it's not spinning. when the ears make contact, one pops up and hammers the ball joint.

Looks like the CTM is fine. The fact that they kept going is the problem.

As Dave said the CTM is fine, and it looks like the balljoint may be fine (or at least not the source of problem here). Thats a broken dana 44 knuckle
