Probally not this time, so far the Dana 30 bog stock but with the end caps tacked on has put up with mountains of abuse with aggressive 34" muddies, alot of wheels up and high speed impacts, i wont be suprised if the tubes are bent when they try to put the sleeves in!
i have snapped one axle, which upon inspection seemed to be caused by the loss of an end cap (hence why they are tacked now)
Ill be going 35" muds once i tear these tires apart, and as for the diff, with a locker im limiting the torque to each axle to 50% rather then a possible 100%.
with moly axles, those beefy sleeves, C gussets and stonger crown i think the worst i could do is snap a moly axle, which is a cheap fuse for the drivetrain and wont leave me stranded.
I may just be being naive, but with lockers, lift, gearing and disconnects i should no longer have to drive my rig like a madman possessed to get to hard to reach places like i currently do, hopefully with more traction i can drive slower and in a more controlled manner....well thats the theory anyway!
what i wanted to avoid was spending 8k on a bulletproof diff and move the weaklink to the transfer case or gearbox!
