|  Drivetrain durability
I'd like to know how the transmission, transfer case and axles are holding up for everyone. And i'm referring to the stock parts.

No issues at all yet. Though I have only had mine less then a month. But I have been running it a ton. No signs either of any issues. I did do some fully under water runs yesterday so we will see how that pans out. I did take things apart and clean/oil them after that. I do drive my rigs hard but I also take very good care of them.

The only issues I have had is the driveshafts keep popping off of the tolls! My fix was a zip tie around the driveshaft keeping them nice and tight! Everything else seems to be pretty solid!

The stock driveshafts are junk, that was the first thing I replaced. Aside from those the drivetrain is stout, the weak link is the gears in the axles from what I have heard but I have not had any problems with mine yet. The gears in the T-case and trans are very stout and I doubt most will every have a problem with them unless there is some stupidity involved. |

A couple week spots, first is the drive shafts. They are junk and I would highly recommend upgrading them. Second is the front axle shafts at the knuckle, I have broken an axle at this spot twice. Get xvd's and you will be set.

I thought all was well but started getting intermittent clicking under drive. Narrowed it down to the front axle. Took apart to find the input sun gear has worn. For now I've swapped around the two shims on that gears shaft so it's pushed tighter in. But ordering replacements now. |
