if he only wants to go 40 mph, thats fine... i tried that once... i hit 55 or so and things in the front end started comming apart thats alot fo stress on an area that wasnt designed for it

I have lived all over and every town has a driveline guy, I live in a town of 65 thou. and there are 5 shops. you can take it out if you want and send it to TRIPPLE R. In flagstaff az. Bruce has built many drivelines for my trucks. We are talking 8 trucks over 15 years. I just kept adding power and would do stupid things when he said it will handle 700 H.P. and I put 900 H.P. to it.

Thats not true unless your front end is shot because in 4 hi u can drive as fast as u want because it not alot different then a truck with a full time front end and I have done it plenty of times with all sorts of trucks so if everything is good in the front I wouldnt be affraid to drive it 65 down the highway!
