Here is 2 videos, the first one i had to put on there just cause it is funny to watch and the second on is the burnnout with both front and one rear tire smoking.
Do you have a custom front driveshaft on your truck? I have a hard time accepting the stock one could go through that much stress.. but I could be wrong?
Other than that, nice vids n definitely a nice truck.
Damn.. not bad.. Ever thinking of changing the cv joint to a ujoint? Few people have done it, but a couple have reported vibrations.. I don't know what's up with that... but it's Gotta be better than the cv type joint.
I hope your ready to put a new transfer case in it. It won't be happy after that. If you needed to do a burnout that bad you should have just taken the front drive shaft out and put it back in when you were done.
the reason for doing the durnout is hardly no one does them and as for the transfer case doing just fine with everything i have done to the motor and last night took it out and raced it 6 times and only lost once that was fun even raced a buddy of mine with his 05 gt stang with 75 shot nitrous and won that was a fun race.
I practically do the same thing to my tcase when it's winter here... probably not that much stress, but plenty of slip until the front wheels start spinning up like crazy... haha.. snow mobbin.. and then in the summer, there's mud. AWD may not be as good as actual 4x4, but it ain't bad.

i hope to be able to do that next spring with the motor i am building now and a 76mm turbo setup and yeah the other guy was barley touching the gas lol
I'm sure if you donated 1 or 2 million dollars to the cause it could be done. The stock drive train couldn't even come close to handling the power needed to spin all 4 tires.
lol at 1 or 2 million the drive train wont be stock next year i have having custom axles built to hold up to 800whp and rebuilding the rear end with new axles and gears and then comes the transmission and transfer case. all together i am going to have about 4800 in the drive train when it is all said and done.
Your going to need every bit of that 800hp, building the rear axle won't be hard, it's getting the front one built to hold that much power that could be a challenge.
