Rear end limits ?

[D.T.R]

Well, we all know that our 8.8 31 spline rear ends are pretty stout... but just like everything, I'm sure there is a limit on how much it can handle. Does anybody know what it takes to break a 100% bone stock rear end? I'm even more interested to find out on a automatic car since they tend to be easier on the drive train, than a stickshift car is.

Post your input and what you have broken on your rear end (if anything?) at what power level. I'm interested to know.

I lost my center section pretty fast. I'm running a True trac now with a cover.

Interested as well. Thats the only part of my drivetrain that I havent upgraded....yet. Im hoping it makes it into the 9's before it goes.

What all exactly you broke and how?
Where you launching at high RPMs ?

You will break the Eaton clutch pack differential with high power hard launches. Switch to a stronger differential with an aluminum cover and the 8.8" is one tough customer.

you can't launch at too high of an RPM with the auto.
The 2B converter i bought is supposed to flash around 3500rpms, however I doubt I'll be able to foot brake it and hold it that high before the car starts to roll... I doubt I'll be able to launch any higher than 3k rpms... you still think it'll probably break the diff ?

Also, i guess the stock axles are good ?
