what happen with axle

 

Here's the story. It was a 35 spline 60 shaft. Same as what comes in every TeraFlex CRD60 axle. It is semi float, uses the big bearing cup and set 20 bearing. It didn't have any 44 parts except the brake calipers and backing plates. The back story is this, TeraFlex was trying out different shaft hardening. We only put them into a few select customer and employee rigs. As it turned out, the hardening didn't go deep enough into the shaft. The shafts were soft and would twist and break right @ the flange or bearing. We had this happen with about 4 different rigs, until we got the hardening correct. Then all the test shaft were suppose to be replaced and destroyed. He didn't come in to get them changed. Thus this happening. They were test shafts that were suppose to be replaced. There you go, the real story.

Weight + horsepower + prototype shafts = video.


AND for the record.. That thing is WICKED heavy. 6000lbs easy if not more. One similar w/ smaller tires, stock t-case vs atlas and less stuff inside was weighed @ 5800.
