|  drive shaft problems
Can anyone and everyone let me know what they run for driveshafts on their tlt axled trucks and how you fasten then in. I ask since my run time is always cut short buy ripping shafts out of my ford "Billy Bob" I've gone from pede sliders to pede sliders with steel yokes (twisted the ends off the shaft) Then I upgraded to emaxx shafts useing the dog bone cup to mount the emaxx cupler ( ripped the pin out of the emaxx yoke!)  Is there some other shafts anybody is useing with any luck? |

Are you drilling a hole through the axle pinion gear shafts? I run 2.5 Maxx shafts on my TLTs, I've never had any problems at all.

Ya unfortunatley I've done all the usuall tips and tricks I've seen so far. I'm starting to think the thing has just got too much power for the setup. The problem is the truck is suposed to be my mudbogger this summer and at this rate I don't think it's gonna happen unless I can solve this shaft problem. I know this is a crawling site but I figured if they'll stand up to crawling they should hold up mud bogging. Has any one used jugg shafts and if so how much pissin around do you have to do to adapt them to tltaxles and maxx trans? |

Just a thought, what is your driveline/pinion angle like? I know when I ran a T-Maxx tranny in my TLT I had a problem with the drive shafts because of the steep angle. Get us some pics, we would have a better idea of how to help then  |

sounds like the angle is too steep and the shafts are binding. try tilting the pinion a lil further up, the rear can be made to be pointed straight towards the trans if you dont have rear steer
