Here is what let go on the puller this year, in order:

HX52, snapped shaft.



P7100, stuck a plunger.



Warn premium 35 spline lockouts, exploded.



Stock 35 spline inner, twisted off.



With all the binding and hammering, this also messed up the carrier and ring gear. Had to cut the bearings apart to get the carrier out. Welded spiders held up though.





Cold forged Spicer wheel joint, took out both axles.



Somewhere in there we twisted the input on the Getrag too.



And burned a piston.





I think thats it.

 

Well you obviously put your truck to the test. Thats alot of busted metal.

 

if the saying "you have to pay to play" is true, you must be having a heck of a lot of fun!!

wow

 

Man I am glad my truck is 2wd lol.

 

"8 more reasons not to get addicted to truck pulling"

What timing were you running to burn that piston? or did that melt down from other problems?

 

............

 

I'm glad I've never hooked to a sled before...


I'd have pictures like this too...

 

Truck ran great though didn't it.

One question though, I thought you were running a N/IC shortblock. I see an IC piston????

 

I bet it was worth it? At least you got somethin to show for all your work

 

That motor is out of the '96, it went in the puller this year. The 89's mill is now resides where this one came from...


Now I remember why I was broke all summer....

 

Seems as if ever since you put that P-PUMP motor in there everything is turning to dust??

Put the VE back in! lol


you have no idea how much i look forward to opening any thread by "CaptainChrysler" that has the word carnage or broken in the title

 

It was a lot of fun. When you factor in how many hooks we had on it, it wasn't too bad, really.

Timing was set @ 30*. The #6 piston was the only one melted a little on top. 4 of the holes were scuffing, but none as bad as #6. I am pretty sure it was from getting it too hot for the piston the wall clearance we had. Hard to beleive 300,000 miles wasn't enough to loosen it up.

I have to say that a Southbend Clutch is pretty darn good. It has been in there for 2 years of abuse, and still held just fine. It is only a 3600 too. It has been through a LOT.

 

Man that's a lot of power going to the ground.
