500CID + 1/2ton u-joints + power brakeing= BANG! *PICS*

That was awsome! At least now i know what a u-joint blowing up sounds like. I just had a little "motivation" and a killer song to get me all amped up and had to go do somthing so i figured why not go try to power break the caddy well i get on it and just as i open up the secondarys it goes TANG/BANG! I was like "bet that was that damn 1/2 ton ujoint at the t-case, SURE ENOUGH! I just couldent help but laugh! I dont know why maybe casue im partialy drunk but iether way its comady to me! And no i didnt leave the driveway after id been "motivated"

500cid needs more than 1/2ton joints, now you know haha

You just blew your torque fuse. Replace it with a bigger fuse

 

[y5mgisi]

You got it!

Its pretty cool to hear. And the clank clank of the shaft is even better imo!

 

[diesel4me]

well....

Why do you think they call it "Power BREAKING"?????... ....

I cant see the video,but I have a pretty good idea how that sounds!..been there myself with a 454 a few times...rrrr---rrrrrrrrrr--RRRRRRRR---WHACK!!!--RRROOOOMMM!!--CLUNK-Clunk- clunk.... .......

I remember doing a burnout once in an Olds Delta 88 with a 455 on the concrete pad at the boneyard just before we cut the motor and tranny out--had to see if it was any good you know!!..

I power braked it, and did a cool burnout..just as it shifted into second I heard a big bang,and the driveshaft almost came thru the floor!..I figured the rear U-joint broke..but when I looked under the car,gear oil was oozing all over the place,and the PINION was still attached to the U-joint!... ...WHOOPS!!..--good thing we didnt sell THAT rear end to anyone!..failed our "stress test"...

lol fun fun, nice pics of the damage

 

[y5mgisi]

YA buddy! SO anyon know if a 3/4 ton 203 output will bolt in place of a a 1/2ton one?

 

[hack500]

nice.... you were partially drunk behind the wheel.

atleast it was the u-joint/yoke and not the rear end.

 

[y5mgisi]

YA deffently it is 14blt but it is a SF im not too woryed about it. Like I said i didnt and wont leave the drive way after geting "motivated" I am an avid non drinker and driver. thats why i thought "man i sure do want to go do somting cool but what? I know i'll go power brake the truck!" Belive me drinking and driving as far as im concerned is a HUGE no no!

 

[hack500]

a 14sf... even a 500 might not kill wun'dem - they are surprisingly strong.
