Front end carnage!

Derek@Vision Diesel · Mar 19, 2013

Anyone had issues with the front ends up the f350 6.4s?

Tuned and deleted truck running 13.3 and after a couple launches we found this. Not my truck so not sure if the launches were just that rough or it was injured previously.

Wheel hop would be my guess. I haven't had an issue yet. He's probably trying to leave the line to hard.

I've launched the ever living piss out of mine probably 100+ times with no issues...

Mike Settlemire did that once. Pretty sure at the track too. Looks like a good time to upgrade, gotta love breaking parts

Ouch lol

Yeah it may of hopped a little bit, but wasn't noticeable as a by stander. His VERY first time on a drag strip he ran a 13.3 @ 101. The very next pass he made, this happened.

Unfortunately he opted to just go back together with stock parts haha....

Gotta love carnage!

My front drive shaft let this happen to my t-case instead of letting go.

It's amazing how much carnage hopping in 4wd can do to these trucks.

Ehh I've had worse. Was able to limp the truck home in 2wd thank god and swapped the case out later that week.

big white CCLB w/ traction bars, derek? Saw pics of it at WB.

If only the Ford drivetrain team had 4wd drag racing (at 150% power level) application on their component validation...

op what size tires on that truck.

i had a friend of mine that had that happen with a set of 37 inch sticky mickey's mtz.

tug o war on black top. when the axle let go, you could watch it skip and bounce across the parking lot... lol

33" all terrains! 550hp launching around 1700 RPMs..... Had to of been a flaw from the factory, too many trucks doing the same thing with more power and zero issues!

Very good chance it left the factory with a imperfection that lead to early failure.
With the amount of torque + the weight of these trucks run it says a lot for the running gear under em.
But I could also see hoping just once under WOT tear up just about anything.

He probably is just one of them that if it weren't for bad luck he wouldn't have any luck at all.
