Seems like you were having a rough time controlling it...with a DD the grab is intense, if you don't control it properly you're gonna break things, 3rd gear pulls alot of power, alot of ppl lose 6th. Not intending to offend you, just pointing out human error can cause drastic effects. Hope you get it situated.

That sux.

What are your plans?

I suggest not thrashing your truck so hard. Drag racing a manual is alot harder on your entire drive train vs an auto.

I think you've found the limit of the g-56.

Unrulynfs lost his g56 a few weeks back, he wasn't hitting it hard when it let go but he has put it to the test in the past with 600hp, 9" of lift, on 40's and running in the 13's with that setup. Hope you get it fixed soon.

When I had an 05 i had a g unit sieze up on me as I was getting off the interstate. It locked up the rear end and exploded the clutch. That was at 20k miles and everything was stock.

Sounds like it is not exactly the trannys fault, you get it half way in gear and your letting the clutch out don't expect it to last.

Well **** that sucks man. Like they said try to PM Unruley and see what he found, he is on that same road.

You guys are making me nervous popping these G56s, maybe I should get a spare.

Thanks for that ...

Everyone wonders why it is so hard to get warranty work done.

Let's review:

Modded truck...check

At a race track...check

Being intentionally rough on the truck, in an application is was not built for...check

So naturally Dodge should take care of it...
