I hear the stories ,but they rarely include tire size and correct hp,when refering to a broken drive shaft.I guess it takes a big set of meats and more hp than I currently have to worry about the driveshaft.
Thnx tech,I know you have seen and been there,I value your opinion.Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
