This is coming from member of another forum that was at a local meet. The raptor here was doing a burn out and then bam, this happened.

I guess it was just a u-joint, but still. I would be pretty embarrassed if that was me. :slap:

i was sad when something similar happened in an old beater van i was driving, i can't imagine what it must feel like to have it happen on a raptor

i'm gonna guess he had the locker engaged, traction completely off and in 1st gear, with a 6.2. lots of gusto to put on that drive line to get them both roasting.

A guy posted this on the Z a while back. Wonder if it's the same truck/shaft...
