Carbon fiber driveshafts are supposed to shred back into fibers if they break. It would still probably be a good idea though. Thanks for reminding me.

It'd be the pinion shearing off that'd worry me,they have a tendenancy to break at the front bearing,and that leaves a hell'va sized sledge hammer bolted to the end of the driveshaft,that'll hit one hell'va an rpm under the truck when it lets go,lol
As a kid i had a hot little 77 Ford regular cab shortbox ,showing off one night,i did a 4,000 rpm neautral drop,the pinion sheared off clean,by the time the driveshaft quit thrashing around,it'd tore out the inside frame gas tank,poked a hole in the box of the truck,and basically ripped the exhaust system out from under the truck,worst thing was the tank was right full of high octane fuel,and it knocked all the dust out from under the dash while doing it,stepping on the brakes and trying to slam the tranny into park,just made it angier lol

I have a built transmission and transfer case.
I also got some axles from Moser.
If the pinion goes I'll have to have something built.
I'll just have to wait and see how it does.
Where did you get the transmission and transfer case from?

didn't know Michelin made skinnies, or are you staying 4x4? :) The new 48-13 is fantastic in Baja mode.

I don't know what 48-13 means.

The Michelins are 285-70/17 and are the lightest wheel/tire combo I own.

Yes 4x4.

So just a random fact I just learned. Trackhawks are ******* FAT! 5363 pound curb weight!
My crew cab truck has a curb weight of 5601.
So my big fat truck is only 238 pounds heavier.
Holy ****.
I thought the Trackhawks were at most 4500-4600 pounds.
I can't wait to find one when my truck is together and hurt some feelings.

48-13 is the AWD transfer case in the TRX. Do you beef up a 44-45?

I was curios of what model transfer I had. The BW 44-44 or 44-45. I was told there was a stamped tag like the gear ratio on the rear end, but I didn't see it on first glance. There are a few labels but maybe I missed something.

I looked at their site and did not see Ram 4x4 builds listed but obviously they do them. Did you send your core in to be rebuilt? Who did you work with at Hellraiser to make this happen?

I believe you can tell by the "44" has the "Auto" 4WD option and the "45" doesn't have it.

Ahh gotcha. No a 44-44 they just re-did the clutch packs in it.

I bought a core off ebay and had it shipped directly to them. Just call them and tell them what you have and what you want. They'll take care of you.
