Ok, here’s the deal. I broke *another* axle and joint on the trail, and I’m getting tired of it. I’m running a Dana 30 with tired 33s, so I know I’m not overtaxing things. I am running an Aussie locker which I'm sure doesn't help the axles, but wow! You'd think I could keep joints for more than two runs lol.
Those of you who have run with me know I don't get stupid with the loud pedal, and I know how to take lines. It's not normally tom-foolery that lands me in the broken house.
I would go chromoly shafts, but it’s the idiot joint that keeps breaking I believe. However, each time they let go, the ears of the shaft are snapped, too. Do I need to go to a better shaft? This is the third one and I’m tired of babying it and fixing it. What do you guys do to keep the 30 behaving? What are the best joints out there? I need them.
All I hear are horror stories about the D35 rear, but nothing has ever happened to mine. I *cannot* keep driver side axles in my 30. HELP!
Thanks, .
