    driveshaft durability

     



    Stock 66 chevy truck driveshaft ,2 piece.
    How long will it last doing burnouts and using a 11.5 inch wide rear tire.
    approx 300 hp 350 ftlbs of torque with a 3 speed manual ,4.11 gears.
    New carrier bearing /u -joints,rear gears etc....
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

    It'll probably outlast the rest of the truck.

    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.
