well i was at the track like 3 weeks ago.in my 2002 L .my trucks mostly stock (13.80).just a jlp ram air filter. anyways on my second run .i had too much wheel hop.and just ripped my driveshaft in half like a pretzel.later i found out that im missing a right rear shock.not like i told the dealer bout it or being at the track for that matter. well both air bags deployed. what a freaking mess. my extended warranty only covered my driveshaft. :cuss: my truck has 39,000 miles on it.anyways my seat belts also locked up. what are my options .i really dont want to go with my ins. so im on my own on this one.can i reset my computer or something.also i had to disconnect my horn, as it wont shut off.ive got pics but i dont really know how to post them.any help guys .as i need my seat belts unlocked. thanx Danny

What are your mods?? Why does the dealer need to know you were at the track??

Wheel hop sucks. A buddy of mine GRENADED his rear on a lifted 4x4 when he was doing a burnout and it started wheelhopping.

First mod when you get it back together: TRACTION BARS.
They will control that nasty and expensive wheel hop.

from what i could gather.when the driveshaft broke the part connected 2 the yoke .was banging around the frame. i looked down there and that what it looks like. loud as f-ck.it really came back to me missing my right rear shock.ive got it all on my dvd camcorder. really was kinda funny. well for my buddies that is.

by reading his first post it seems to me like it was already gone and that had something to do with inducing the wheelhop inturn causing the shaft to prezal
