First Ever Broken EEP mainshaft

Well the verdicts out, its another broken shaft the only difference is this time it was the updated one from Enterprise Engine Performance. I talk to them this week and they said they had never seen one break. I guess there is a first time for everything.

No, the shaft broke not their coupling. So no warranty

Justin,
Will they at least be able to use the upgraded sleeve on another shaft or is it DOA?

Coupler is fine. Reuseable.

Well I guess no EEP main upgrade for me as it would be a waste of money at this point....

I guess it just depends on how much a new main goes for these days.....

That is the mainshaft in the transmission that all the gears are on this shaft goes into the transfercase the first time he broke the very end of the shaft and EEP put the coupler on and this time it broke the thicker part of the shaft right behind where they put the coupler.
