2007 2008 2009 Silverado Driveshaft EXPLOSION on Dyno Too Much Power

[NcCanoeCamper]

Where a chevy belongs...on a rollback.

[MrJunkProductions]

OMG! Are you ok? Yeah. Not you! My truck!!!

[bigdoo350]

is that at the wheel

[767dag]

im taking supercharged 5.3 for recam , and was think about new shaft for insuance ...  i called driveshaft speclist south tx. 3day turn .....he quotted ne a 5in. aluminum shaft is good for 1000 ft lbs ..which the are running on big tq. diesels trucks

[mathieubf]

love that video

[aggiefan1011]

did you have upgraded shafts and heads?

[adamslurch71]

Chevy like a rock.....sits there and does nothing.

[Silverado1ss89]

Hey bro.. At this point.. What was your set up?

[jewflyer619]

gay fucking song

[victor8481]

Damn haha that wouda punched a biggo hole in the gas tank if that shield wasnt built there

[traxxasmaxx33]

thats a chevy for ya. breaking any and every part!

[denton3737]

It's not really that impressive, head on over to performancetrucks .(dot) net. The stock driveshaft on a silverado isn't rated to 130+ and will almost always fail at those speeds on a dyno. We have several threads of this happening. It's not too much power, it's just too much speed, any silverado that's got a tune to turn off the factory electronic governor.

Regardless, those are some good dyno numbers.

[santamon12]

I wonder wat wud have happened if this had happened on the interstate??? lol.. Epic fail + crash!

[xtreme01hac10docter]

Happend to my buddies 97 truck he was doing a small burn otu and it blew up carbon fiber went ever where

[boxersrock1]

was the driveshaft covered under factory warranty? when my forward sprag went out in my transmission they rebuilt it for free not a single penny out of my pocket

[hell4lyfe22]

sad day to see something like this, at least it wasnt a catastrophic failure =)

[Ford4Lyfe7]

Carbon Driveshaft anybody?

[joeldude76]

a dodge ram 1999 broke a driveshaft at an intersection earlier today

[Ghostixe]

That truck sounds nasty! That sucks about the driveshaft. Did you replace with with aftermarket or stock again?

[colton010]

yea i hate the fords 2 i dont like dodges either

[kjrdtc]

the background music is the worst shit i have ever heard. nice pull tho

[boxersrock1]

i know how you feel. i have a 2008 ext cab 5.3 liter with programmer only and i lost the forward sprag in my transmission and lost 1st and 2nd gear and it spent a week in a dealership gettin fixed. the transmissions and driveshafts need some beefin up from the factory i think. what you think i would be running in the 1/4 with a good intake, and custom tune, and catback exhaust? with the superchips alone i am running the 1/4 in 15.5 and 0 - 60 is around 7.5 seconds.

[colton010]

damn man that sucks i just blew my driveshaft on my 09 silverado 6.2

[mario121793]

@colton010 Those trucks have balllls!!!! I think that is gm's only problem on these bad ass trucks not like the millions of defects ford has!!!! hate triton v8.. they suck

[3ashqGMC]

sorry for the dumb Q but what did you give it some N2O

[M3SRT]

@3ashqGMC no nitrous

[3ashqGMC]

btw

you said on PT that you have a TSP 220\220

on what LSA? what kinda of setup do yo have...full specs on the valvetrain and tune pls

[3ashqGMC]

i saw your dyno.i have ana luminum drive shaft...what would happen to that super soft thing on the dyno lol

did you get a built drive shaft?

[M3SRT]

i fyou had an aluminum shaft it would have failed a lot sooner ,,, i diddnt get a built one just another steel one i never had any problems with it till the dyno pushed it to over 135mph ...and a few other factors made it snap ... the truck was strapped down a bit tight changingint the pinion angle

[Supershafts]

@M3SRT the AL shaft would not break, you are exceeding the rpm for that shaft , you need to go to AL. . . There is a reason those trucks come speed governed. . .

[3ashqGMC]

sick

[jtm1504]

I would have gone with a beefier driveshaft , you really need a 4 inch one.good luck hopefully the new stays intact for ya.

[trevorpollo]

screamo is gay, ur music sucks. chevy sucks

[gino9315]

so you saying that your truck got 494 at the wheels

[waterfordjim]

It would have been funny if the broken jagged driveshaft would have ripped through the floorpan and spun right up into the driver's butthole. How awesome would that have been? :-)

[98Sierra305]

I'd rather just hear motor, instead of music.

[robert30319]

the funny thing is ur a dumbass for putting all that power in the engine and not getting a driveshaft, tranny, and rear end to handle the power if you change 1 thing you HAVE TO change every thing or you will fuck up every thing see if you were a smart person you would know like my s10 i rebuilt the engine with performance part i also put a performance clutch, a 4:11 positive traction rear end, and heavy duty drive shaft so i can get the most out of it and so i can save money on repairs

[rekjavicxxx]

Truck has been under warranty, so I think his philosophy is prolly the same as mine on new vehicles....If it breaks, LET GM FIX IT!!  LOLOLOL

[robert30319]

ya but he still needs to act like if he had to pay for it and if he wasnt an ass i would subscribe but he screwed himself i also re subbed to u

[mikeygreek]

@robert30319 u actlike this guy cursed your mother or someting i seen the comments he didnt tell ya nothing to bad

[robert30319]

its because of his comment on another video but we get along now

[trevorpollo]

if you modify your vehicle while its still under warranty the warranty is void its his problem now

[rekjavicxxx]

If it was my dealer, wouldn't have been an issue ;) Gotta keep yo mechanic close son!

[gmg957]

Very very good you truck ,it's Argentina!!!!

[05smoketitan1]

Awsome numbers. What trim level is the truck because it looks like it has the chrome in the side mouldings.

[Phoenixfire360]

very impressive peak hp ratings

especially the last one.

the 5.3 is a damn good engine too.

[johnnjboss]

aman lol

[colonelbanditsix]

Ugh, so sad. JasWarLea might have a point about this only happening to the regular cabs,  slightly shorter wheelbase means a more aggressive angle for the driveshaft. Even though it didn't fracture at the joint, flexing of the tube could be increased by the steep angle.

[blowingsmoke05]

wow 380 somthing im scared ive got 100 bucks saying my 7000lb cummins would make you look silly and yes your truck sounded like shit

[l337looser]

its diesel..... so it wouldnt be an even comparison

[Z71GALLA]

i hate the open y pipe it sounds like crap to me but what every you like

[gizmo98550]

why in gods name do people put the fucking music on their videos? i mean for fuck sake.. this isnt a music video competition! especially screaming yelling garbage like that..

[JasWarLea]

is this a reg cab thing? Cause this is like the 3rd video I've seen were that happens. Right down the middle. Maybe it happends with the GMT900 platform, cause it didn't happen to the GMT800 like this. I'd like to see more vids of this setup.. Your making some power

[LOV2XRL8RL]

Damn! Good thing is like new

[MSH3L60]

why ?

[M3SRT]

why what >>?

[Unkn0wn2003]

LOL!!  Proper music when they were loading it up and showing the damage.

It broke in the same place my stock one did... right down the middle.

[Smashoff23]

MANNNNNN when you had the sad music playing and the truck gettin loaded on the tow truck was like a flashback when i had to get my truck towed haha the video editing was amazing great job glad to see you got her fixed quick and 494 DAMN!!!!!!!! that up there in super truck territory.

[chevrolade1]

damm,glad u fixed her

[rekjavicxxx]

Ahhh, I was figuring you'd do a burnout at 3:19

[rekjavicxxx]

Now I know what happened...check out 0:19 ! Your dyno operator was sippin a beverage! Never Drink n Dyno!!!

[M3SRT]

lol , yeah they were drinkin beer

[rekjavicxxx]

Drinkin causes accidents and babies!!!

[CSXtrackworker]

What upgrades have you done to the truck to get those HP@ torque readings? I am in the process of doing a black bear tune on mine.. Well, after christmas. Was just wondering what you have on your's.

Thanks

[weirdblooded62]

sweet video

[lildipper817]

Yeah now you see what happend to my truck!!! Monkey C Monkey Do lol...!

[YoungerPrice]
