48 re snapped input shaft

Running dd3's and an ex box on 1 towing a 12 k 5th wheel. I have a 89% dtt converter and shift kit. Snapped the input shaft and destroyed the front pump and converter. Just a little warning , you may want to opt for the dtt billet input shaft if going in there. I wish I did. $400 tow bill and half of the parts are on national backorder puts me in a bad spot.

$89 per year for emergency road service that will tow my truck and 5er, two tow trucks if necessary, sounds like a bargain. Hope I never need it. :

What model 2500/3500, rear axle do you have? If you complete your profile/signature we don't need to ask.

Not complaining but just warning people that they should at least consider it. I wish I did. I just assumed I would never push it to the point where I needed one.
