The u-joint broke on a pull off on hard track while spooling so it was just tired. I am so impressed with this truck as most people are that buy dodge. Just because you bought another brand doesnt mean the one you dont own is junk, and just because you will never have a GDP sticker on your truck doesnt mean GDP sucks. JIT was just asking for a name for his new progect truck not your opinions.

Not sure Travis was piling on. I'd guess he was pulling a Josh (smartass sometimes ) Have no clue where Tusker was going, maybe he will chime in. Hopefully in another thread (hint, hint) This thread is about naming a truck

I wash giving Josh a hard time for picking on fords As for the junk comment i was not referring to dodge trucks in general just the drivetrain they decided to use that must be upgraded to withstand and decent amount of power. As for my opinion just take it with a grain of salt

A duramax with a stout EFI Live tune needs a tranny and hand full of front end parts to live more than a half dozen pulls.

I pulled for 2 years before I broke a u-joint, ive been watching pulls up here in MD/PA for 4 years now and have not seen a single 3rd gen dodge break a drive line part aside from someone smoking a stock auto or stock clutch. We have some decent clay tracks too.

I was mostly reffering to the older 12v trucks with ujoint, axleshaft, t-case, balljoints, halfshaft joints issues

I just broke my first driveline part and I wasnt sled pulling but doing Tug-O-war. Pavement sucks! For the most part the big three use similar drive line components so to say one is infirior and blame it on the Auto makers crappy engineering doesnt really make much sense.

They all have junk torque converters in them!
Even the street drive daily drivers cant keep a clutch in them.
Ford and Dodge tranny's have small shafts.
Allisons arent much better above 600hp and will rarely shift properly. (seem to work great for tug-o-war though)

Dana Axles are pretty darn good and take a lot of abuse no matter what make they are under. The AAM's seem to be just as reliable. Ujoints and drive shafts are about equal. Only GM uses IFS which will break at even stock HP.
